Description of problem:
When the system is booting CIFS filesystem mounts in /etc/fstab are
treated as local filesystems instead of remote systems (apparently),
so the system tries to mount the remote CIFS system before the network
driver loads (and reverse on shutdown).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.3-1.97

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a CIFS mount in /etc/fstab
2. Reboot the computer
3. If you're in text mode you'll see it right away, if you're in
graphical the step is hidden from the "details" view so you'll have to
look at /var/log/messages to see the error
    

Actual Results:  The CIFS filesystem attempts to mount before the
network driver loads and actually does mount after the network driver
loads.  On shutdown it appears to attempt to unmount after the network
driver unloads.

Expected Results:  The network driver should load first and then the
CIFS should mount, on shutdown the CIFS mount should unmount first
then the network driver should unload.
