NFS mount help

Hi all,

My laptop has a wireless connection which I manage through NetworkManager, and on boot mounts 2 remote nfs shares. When I use it on a wired connection everything is great, but when I boot with wireless only the shares will not mount, presumably because the wireless is not connected yet (it requires a WPA key). This isn't a major problem as I just mount them manually after boot if I need them, but it does mean that booting up takes a lot longer than it could.

Is there a way to modify fstab so the shares will only mount if a wired network connection is present?

Thanks for the help.
