I've tried to do so a few days ago using a 3.5 kernel pre-release with
the latest user-space utilities available in Debian. The vanilla kernel
module works fine with the supplied utilities and look feature complete
to me.

The utils do not work together with the vanilla kernel module out of the
box. That's because of naming confusions between the DKMS kernel module
and the upstream kernel module, however. This is a bug in the init
script of the package itself.


Having that said, the Debian DKMS package also provides a brcompat
module which replaces the Linux bridge module. That one is missing in
the upstream kernel entirely.
