That should not be the case.  The upstart configuration says *to start nmbd
when the network comes up.*  Please put the nmbd.conf back in the correct
configuration, boot with '--verbose' on the commandline, log in, and attach
the /var/log/syslog.conf that results.

Why would nmbd start before your network is up?
