Ok, I found a vista machine to test against for now.

Do I understand correctly that I should be able to use standard mount
so long as I use IP addresses?

What do you mean about recompile mount.cifs.c?  Do you mean rename mount.cifs to
mount.smb2?  Or do I need to hack on mount.cifs.c code?  If I need to do any
re-compiling at all, please point me to the proper upstream repository for
these changes.

It doesn't seem to be working on Fedora 13.  I checked that smb2 module is loaded.

[root@ct503-10G-09 ]# mount -t smb2 -o srcaddr=192.168.100.106,user=lf,passwd=lf //192.168.100.125/pub /mnt/lf/smb2
mount: unknown filesystem type 'smb2'

Thanks,
Ben
