I really feel like I'm spamming a lot here.
For reference, I'm using the latest cooking iso.
Anyways, I'm trying to connect to a shared folder on a win7 machine, over wireless network.
I followed this tutorial: http://vanilla.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/1444/slitaz-and-windows-networking/p1
When I try to modprobe cifs, it gives me the error:
modprobe: can't load module cifs (/lib/modules/2.6.37-slitaz/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko.gz): invalid module format
Offline
I tried compiling a new kernel, to add in cifs support, but towards the end of make, it gave me an error that I don't have enough memory. Pretty awesome.

Still no info on this? This is pretty much the last thing I need to get working, before I can be completely content with this distro.

Sorry for the bad news,there is a problem with your install.
Maybe the module is damaged or it is not compatible with the kernel.
I use smbfs/cifs on 3 installs of cooking with no errors on load of cifs module or mount of file shares.
Slight chance but maybe a tazpkg clean-cache,tazpkg recharge, tazpkg upgrade,tazpkg get-install --forced for linux,smbfs,and linux-cifs.

Slitaz cooking: I am also unable to connect to my LAN, although I have no trouble with the internet.
tazpkg get-install smbfs results in a message that smbfs is not in the mirrored packages list
modprobe cifs gets a message that module cifs is not found in modules.dep
What have I done wrong?

#tazpkg set-release cooking
#tazpkg recharge
#tazpkg get-install linux-cifs
#tazpkg get-install smbfs
If tazpkg isn't fetching the packages download here with browser:
http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/
#tazpkg install pkgname.tazpkg

Thanks for your answer Mojo.
Followed instructions, then tried to start samba. Nothing seemed to happen.
Tried to start pyNeighborhood, got the following:
/usr/bin/nautilus isn't accessable, falling back to default: /usr/bin/nautilus
/usr/bin/nautilus isn't accessable... trying to determine correct filemanager...

and that was it!
Those are the shared folder on my desktop, but I could not find a way to access them.
Is there something else I must do to connect to a network?

i had the same problem with cooking. kernel arch was originally 486, but there was a change to 386 at some point. when you install linux-cifs, the module is 386 (new) w/an old 486 kernel and don't load
check it with
#modinfo cifs | grep vermagic
#uname -r
upgrading the kernel resolves this issue, but generate other similar ones
upgrading all packages broke my Xorg w/my nvidia cards
re-compiling the kernel without the 'nouveau.ko' module resolved all these issues, worked for me on both an old P4 machine w/1GB ram and a recent xeon 4 core w/6GB ram
hope this helps...
Thanks Zacari
I think I am getting out of my depth here 
Following your instructions:
vermagic: 2.6.37-slitaz SMP mod_unload 386
and
uname -r gave 2.6.37-slitaz
As for recompiling a kernel, I am afraid I wouldn't have a clue how to start!
Any other thoughts?

Two documents may help you to compile the kernel:
1) http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:kernel
2) http://vanilla.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/817/solved-how-to-make-new-kernel-module-available-without-the-wok-s#Item_4
Happy slitaz
