On the machine having the 2.6.22 kernel, I can not. Here's the error:

mount error 2 = No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
This used to work on this box, until a few months (weeks?) ago (I'm just
now getting around to working on the problem).
Both boxes run Sid.
If you have a "helpful" ISP, such as Verizon, then it's going to
resolve "faculty" to its search service, which isn't what you want.
With smbfs, you could specify
name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast
to avoid the DNS lookup. With cifs, you can't, since it doesn't yet
respect smb.conf. However, you can install winbind and edit
/etc/nsswitch.conf, setting the hosts spec to:
hosts: files wins dns
That worked like a charm for me, with thanks to Steve Langasek (vorlon).
