Yes, I believe this happens because support for OS/2 EAs is not compiled 
in to most NAS operating systems.

In the main, yes. I use Netdrive and the Samba plugin to access shares 
on a NSLU2 NAS device. I can open the Netdrive-mapped drives on the 
desktop and perform drag and drop actions without problems, However, 
when the share is set up you have to be sure to disable EA support 
within the plugin.

I'm not aware of one.
