I had a kernel compile tree still around from when I was trying to get the n810 to play out to a USB audio device. (Turns out that I was able to get the USB device modules running in the kernel but could never convince the media player to use it.) I config'ed and cooked up a nbd.ko, which you're welcome to grab and see how it works for you:

You'll need to put it somewhere convenient on your n810 and then "insmod nbd.ko". I went as far as making sure it would load into my OS, but you'll have to figure out for yourself if it works.

Good luck!
