[Bug 995535] Re: .smbcredentials not working

[Joseph Salisbury]

There is a newer mainline kernel since my comment in #4.  The kernel
available at the following has the text "precise" in it, but it is
actually newer than the precise kernel.  That text only means the kernel
was built with the precise config file and not the quantal config file.

Can you test the latest mainline v3.4 kernel:
