Direct interop with Win2k/WinXP, as Nate already pointed out - he has a

Of course I could, but I would like to make such a decision in an 
informed and open way. The best, at least in my opinion, would be if the 
Debian package behaves exactly like upstream. Then no special 
consideration for Debian users will be necessary.

will work with the default Debian 2.6.5 kernel, according to Nate.

As Ken wrote, it seems to be already turned on by default in 2.1.2. Do 
the tests already exist ?
