Comment 79 for bug 286828

One more thing, this is on my laptop connecting wirelessly to the
shares. This worked perfectly EVERY time under 8.04 but never has worked
under 8.10. I'm sure it is a timing issue (waiting for the wireless
connection) but it had to do this under 8.04 too.

To reiterate:

* Window XP share
* Ubuntu 8.10 laptop wirelessly connected to the network
* Connected to share under 8.04 and 7.10 automatically
* Won't connect to share under 8.10 automatically
* Can manually mount share "sudo mount /shares/windows_f"
* fstab entry: //192.168.4.10/NetworkShare /shares/windows_f cifs
nodfs,auto,rw,_netdev,credentials=/root/.creds,uid=ttwaro,gid=ttwaro 0 0
/
* Kernel: 2.6.27-11-generic

Thanks for your responses.
