You have to create a script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/
I called mine 05-mnt-hshares
I have it look at the essid 
I am quoting it below
# /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/05-mnt-hshares
# mount the shares I use at home when we connect
#!/bin/sh
export LC_ALL=C
if [ "$1" = "eth1" ]; then
        if [ "$2" = "up" ]; then
                SSID=`iwconfig $IFACE | awk -F\" '{print $2}'`
#       unmount work shares
                /root/bin/workUnNetStuff.sh
#       mount home shares
                if [ "$SSID" = "fishnet" ]; then
                        /root/bin/homeNetStuff.sh
                fi
#               /usr/sbin/vpnc
        fi
        if [ "$2" = "down" ]; then
                /root/bin/homeUnNetStuff.sh
#               /usr/sbin/vpnc-disconnect
        fi
fi

The script /root/bin/homeNetStuff.sh
#!/bin/bash
#resolvconf -u
smbmount //homestore/ourStuff/mikeBackUp /home/homeStore -o\ 
credentials=/home/mike/.hoStore.cred user=mike
smbmount //homestore/ourStuff /home/ourStuff -o\ 
credentials=/home/mike/.hoStore.cred user=mike
