Remount an SMB share after ACPI suspend/resume?

Is it possible to do this automatically. It seems a little tricky, as I'm trying to do this with a laptop remotely mounting my media server. Every time I close it though, it has to be manually remounted. And it's not like the network immediately returns either.

I guess ideally, every time I connect to my home network, I'd like for it to connect my SMB share automatically, but not if I connect to some other SSID/MAC combo.

Is this even possible?

I mount my smb shares with autofs, and a good 85% of the time, they automatically remount after resume.

what are you using for the suspend/resume? What distro and network manager program (if any)?

Some of the utilities like hibernate have scripts that get run on suspend and on resume, I'm guessing you could add wireless reconnect + mounting instructions there

A bit more hacky feeling of a solution might just be some system daemon script that runs in the background and checks what network you're on and looks to see if your media server is mounted every minute / 5 minutes and then sleeps.

--edit
That autofs looks pretty cool too.

I'm running Fedora 12/XFCE/NetworkManager...

However, the act of asking gave me the answer I needed: autofs.

A quick google of autofs and wireless etc yielded this handy howto:

The only thing missing was that you need to add your smb sharing server's ip to hosts to map the server name to its ip automagically.
