IMHO nothing :-) It should be a module using network services.
I don't see why it should be "integrated" at a network level...

For 802.1x or EAP it makes more sense to integrate with the stack but
I can't see why for LDAP (behalfe for protocol issues...)

Do you mean at a protocol point of view ? or functional ?

I totally agree with that, we should have CIFS.
...but providing as much flexibility and ease of use than F&P sharing
on top of another more "open" protocol makes sense too :-).
