[ubuntu-uk] NFS and NetworkManager

[Peter Lewis]

Hi all,

I've been living with this for a while, but it's starting to annoy me a 
little. I wonder if anyone can help.

So far as I can tell, my network connection is brought up when I log in to my 
Kubuntu box, through the network manager tray icon. This connects me to my 
wireless network.

However, I have a couple of NFS shares, which are listed in fstab. They never 
get brought up automatically though, since during booting, the network is not 
up yet. I then have to do a 'sudo mount -a' to get them to come up *after* 
I've logged in.

I'm sure it's not supposed to work like this. How do I get the network up 
earlier so that this isn't an issue?

Thanks!

Pete.
