nfs resources in fstab are not mounted

[Carlos Perelló Marín]

Binary package hint: network-manager

With latest Ubuntu Hardy packages, network manager doesn't automatically mount all nfs entries in /etc/fstab file once the network link is set. Configuring wireless manually at /etc/network/interfaces those entries are mounted automatically.

Network manager should mount them too.

I don't know whether is related or not, but I have another laptop where the mount is done automatically for the same nfs shares, the only difference is the wireless driver, the one that gives problems is iwl3945, the one that works is ipw2200. With iwl3945 I get two different interfaces for the same device, eth1 (useless) and wlan0_rename (the one that works):
