Bug Description
network-admin shows a dialog stating that I must install SMB support to turn on
Windows networking. There is no package named SMB in synaptic. The Samba
package does not actually say it provides Windows networking support. Some
guess work is need by the average user to install this feature.

Changing the string involves changing the translations, but I don't know how we
can translate the new strings in more than 50 language...
Another solution would be to add a button to the error dialog that would install
the package...
