Actually I disagree. I think Christoph is correct. These are two independent protocols and should be in two different modules. > But NTLM 0.12 still works for Vista and DFS referrals. > Breaking out SMB2 initially means that it will not clutter > the working cifs.ko code.

Long term the common functions should be factored out and put into a lower-level module that both cifs and SMB2 are dependent upon. That's the cleaner solution IMHO.
