A quick Google search produced this which has some ideas:

You could also not automount them in fstab and put the mount commands in
whatever the functional equivalent of rc.local is for your distro.  rc.local
usually gets processed last in the boot process as far as I know which may give
your wireless more time to get connected.

You could also put the mount commands in your .bashrc such that they get run at
log on if you are the only user of the system.

I searched for delayed mounting in fstab but didn't come up with any hits.
Granted I only searched for 5 minutes so there may be a better way.
