Well, having investigated further, it seems that those kernel modules are for ISCSI _initiators_, whereas what is needed is to use the SLug as an ISCSI _target_ (but even for an initiator, you would need the associated user-programs, such as iscsiadm - see www.open-iscsi.org).
For a _target_, it seems the fashionable implementation is IET (
http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net/), whose main component is the daemon ietd. The Good News is that it is all done in User Space (no kernel modules needed). The Bad News is that it is not available for the Slug anywhere (or, has anyone tried it). Anyway, I might have a go at it.
