This is disheartening to see that this bug has been around this long and nothing has happened. I have been dealing with it for a while and finally stumbled across it. I found a fix once before that I can't even remember now and I can at least suspend only to find that when I wake my laptop up on another network the shares are still mounted and any suspend after that fails. I have taken to mounting and unmounting shares manually before and after every suspend and its becoming annoying.

I love to tell people about the greatness of Ubuntu and many people want to try it when they take a spin on my laptop. But issues like these are show stoppers for people that just want to switch to something with a solid and easy experience. I sincerely hope that these issues will be fixed in the next release. But from the looks of this thread sadly I don't believe they will. I will attempt the fix listed here but I really question suggesting Ubuntu to someone and then trying to have them apply this these fixes themselves. This gives credence to people that call desktop Linux nothing more than a hobby.
