[PLUG] Network shares not mounting automatically after NIC change


On a Linux Mint workstation, I recently switched from using wi-fi to wired Ethernet.  When I was using wi-fi, all of my network shares auto-mounted when the computer started up.  Since I've switched to wired Ethernet, none of the drives are shared when the computer starts.  I have to type "sudo mount -a" every time after this computer starts.  I suspect it's because the NIC on the motherboard is taking longer to start up and the wi-fi chip did, and it's a timing issue.  All of the lines in /etc/fstab look like this:

"//192.168.200.200/Music /mnt/Music cifs username=[username],password=[password],file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,auto 0 0"

Is there a simple way to fix this?


Thanks, Frank
