Kmod-fs-cifs kmod-nls-base with snapshot

Hello community,

I am trying to install the packages kmod-fs-cifs kmod-nls-base for Linksys EA8300 (Dallas), but getting the following error:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install kmod-fs-cifs kmod-nls-base

My kernel version is much lower, than the one in the snapshot repsitory.
Is there any way to get the packages for my current installed kernel?
Kernel:

Thank you! :slight_smile:

No.

Update to latest snapshot build and install all required kmod packages right after the upgrade.

Can I simply do a opkg upgrade (or whatever the correct command is) or do I have to re-flash the firmware with the latest snapshot build?

You have to reflash because you can not upgrade your kernel with opkg.
