I changed my focus a little as it seems fstab is not the best way to go
for this. I want to execute the command 'gvfs-mount
smb://shareserver/sharename' which is good because it integrates with
nautilus better and seems to work smoother. I can use a symlink if I
need a (non-hidden) path to the share.

My question now is how can I set this script to run on wireless
connection? I don't need to check which network etc. because I don't
think its a big deal if it fails to connect. I am only concerned that
when it connects to a network it should try to connect to the share.

can I just put a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ that runs the command I
need?

Thanks.
