Thanks for the reply. I've played with post* scripts, but I was hoping for some magic control file-fu I hadn't stumbled across

I wasn't aware of any perl dependency, but thus far, it all works well. I experimented with nfs and smbfs. An initial depmod was required for modules.dep creation.

Code:
root@Nokia-N800-44-4 /root # modprobe nfs
root@Nokia-N800-44-4 /root # modprobe smbfs
root@Nokia-N800-44-4 /root # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
smbfs 64092 0 - Live 0xbf0a8000
nfs 122464 0 - Live 0xbf089000

umac 258788 1 cx3110x, Live 0xbf000000 (P)
The tools live in /usr/sbin.
