Big Sur Beta 7 breaks SMB?

After the upgrade from Beta 6 to Beta 7 I am not able to connect to any smb-shares any more. I tried it with a Windows Server, Synology DriveStation and a Debian implementation. I'm directly getting the message Error with connection.

Unredacting the logs reveals the issue, insufficient permissions to load the kernel extension. Just run this (once):
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/smbfs.kext

I have the same issue, but I've noticed that happens with servers with Windows Server 2008. With more recent versions it works.

The commands are not working for me. I have 2 other MACS that are using ElCapitan, and Catalina, and they both are able to connect to SMB Synology share CDMSNAS but the Macbook Air with Big Sur 11.1 does not see CDMSNAS on the network, but if I do the Go to Server and enter the smb://IP address, it sees it fine.

When is this going to be fixed. I am very disappointed in this release so far, entirely too many problems.
