I'll try that... but I would love a solution that JustWorks for everybody. In fedora 6 and 7 (pre NM) we had trouble connecting to wireless networks but samba shares mounting and unmounting worked in every situation. Not with NM we have nice wireless support but samba mounting and unmounting is broken :( > Another possibility, but one I have no experience with, would be to > have NetworkManagerDispatcher run a script that mounts the Samba > shares when you connect to your home network, and unmounts them as > part of the shutdown process.

NetworkManager kills the connection before NetworkManagerDispatcher unmounts samba shares.
