Agreed Robie, 374589 is a good place to gather the requirements for an
attempt to make samba resilient when 'interfaces' mentions an interface
that is entirely transient.

** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 374589
   Samba fails to start at boot when not connected to network (and specific interfaces are configured)

Title:
  Samba won't connect after boot, requires restart of smbd

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  Kubuntu 10.10, KDE 4.5.1, samba 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8

  On my Kubuntu system I have set up Samba to share out two directories.

  The problem is: when I boot (or reboot) the Kubuntu system and then
  try to connect to these shares from my iMac, I get a "Connection
  failed" error on the iMac. This error implies that the iMac can not at
  all contact the Samba server.

  However, right after booting the Kubuntu system the Samba daemon is in
  fact running; to wit: "service smbd status" produces a message like
  "smbd start/running, process 4313".

  It is not until I restart the Samba daemon on the Kubuntu system with
  "sudo service smbd restart" that the Samba server comes on-line and
  the shares become available to the iMac. I tested this with two
  different macs, one running Tiger, the other Leopard; I do not have a
  Windows PC.

  This bug already existed in Lucid. It has been reported more than once
  (can't find the bug numbers though...).
