ok, let us know whether Nokia has restored the NFS support in latest kernel

No, they did not. Most probably they did it because NFS is not needed for 98% of N770 users and it makes kernel larger. Maybe they could compile it as a modules and include it in initfs by default. But most people who know what nfs is can compile modules themselves.

You can get modules for IT2006 kernels from my page http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/#mmcplus I think for NFS you need to insmod sunrpc.ko lockd.ko and nfs.ko

unfortunately i'm not familiar with compiling modules. will try this first...

That should work fine for you.

Great, thanks!!!
I followed your description and i finally got it working. The only issues I had:

-the newest IT2006 version does no longer contain the cifs module, so i had to download it from here:
http://handhelds.org/~fanoush/maemo/...6.39-14.tar.gz
(also see http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowToAccessWindowsCIFS for help)

- the run-applet needs the full path to the script, even if it is in /usr/bin and is executable ("/usr/bin/mountNSLU2"). to remove wrong entries from the run-applet-menu, edit /var/lib/gconf/apps/loadplugin/%gconf.xml

- if there is a space in the share name (the NSLU2 calls the shared disk "DISK 1" or "DISK 2", escape the space using "\040".
//192.168.1.77/DISK\0402 /home/user/MyDocs/NSLU2 cifs rw,user=guest,password= 0 0


Now I can download files and store them directly on the NAS, gr8!

cheers
