Update: I installed easily the NDIS2 drivers for my card, then the packet
driver wrapper. mTCP is working perfectly.
Right now, I am trying TCP's MS CLIENT 3.0 to connect to the SMB share

The SMB share is actually a Dlink NAS, I can use NFS too, but I have to
install some modules before. I'll try a little more for SMB and then try
NFS.
