+<code>
+sudo apt-get install smbclient
+sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
+# if wifi/bluetooth is required only:
+sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant wireless-tools
+####Be VERY careful with the following command and only install connman if you really need it. Connman takes over default Linux network and wifi connection settings and results in a very hard time to configure it yourself and might even result in network not to work as it's supposed to!
+sudo apt-get install connman
