Should samba listen on the wireless interface, too? If not, you can
restrict Samba to listen only on defined interfaces (interfaces = lo eth0).
When the WLAN disconnects, does its interface dissappears? I don't know
what system/backend you are running, so this is maybe something, that
confuses Samba.
Does anything interesting appears in the system log, when the WLAN goes
down? And also in the Samba logs?
Please give some more information (versions, OS, does NetworkManager
manages your NICs or something else, etc.), to make it easier to find
the problem.
Regards,
Marc
