Notes:
* On the first run, make sure you catch the SuperUser Auth request to allow the Samba Filesharing app root access.
* If you experience problems accessing your device, be sure to try all three methods: Network browser, specifying \\name, then \\ipaddress.
* HTC owners: Due to a bug in the wifi setup utility (supplicant) in some HTC Android releases, your device may not appear in Windows Network Browser or be accessible as \\name. Access using \\ipaddress instead.
* Nautilus users: a few reports of file permission problems or "Invalid argument" errors. Try manually mounting the Android share instead, specifying 'noperm' in the mount options.
