You need to install the smbfx package for use with the 2.2.x kernels.
Then the syntax has(for now) changed for the worse with the smbmount
that is used with the 2.2.x kernels. Then see the man page for
smbmount-2.1.x after you have installed smbfsx. If you are dual
booting between 2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels then you might want to look at
http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html which is mentioned in the
Changes file in the 2.2.x kernel docs.
