Re: [PLUG] Network shares not mounting automatically after NIC change

[Casey Bralla via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

This is a real Kludge, but you can put the mount commands into 
/etc/crontab and remount it every minute.

(I'm kinda ashamed to even suggest this since it's such an ugly 
solution, but it will get you going until you find the real answer.)
