On the other hand, I would love to be able to use cifs exclusively, but
I have several network drives ( WD and TrendNet ), and neither brand
will mount via cifs with a credentials file. I have to use smbfs if I
am to access them. No amount of googling has provided me with a clue,
and a thread on this site went nowhere
[http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-October/126556.html]. So,
for as long as Debian supports smbfs, I'll continue to use it. Maybe a
future firmware revision on the drives will correct the problem.

smbfs.kio is unmaintained and no one wants to touch it.
It's not just SuSE. It's a deprecated file system in
the kernel.
As far as I understand it, Windows 98 doesn't use CIFS.
Support for netbios transport was added in cifs.ko I think around
2.6.15
