There are a lot of ways, but I think the easiest and also one of the
best is to install and configure autofs. This doesn't detect your
network, but will try to mount the fs when you access it.

However, another option is to use NetworkManager's dispatcher service.
As always, our friends over at Arch have great documentation:
