Following your guidelines, I think I understand better how nmbd is behaving.
nmbd is started after a user logs in, and if the network-manager is running. In fact, as I'm setting a server, I configured the Wifi so that it could connect with wpa_supplicant at the end of boot, but I did not use the network-manager for that (I used wpa_supplicant with configuration file). Bad idea, as there seems to be some logic between network-manager and nmbd. nmbd starts when a net I/F goes up in this case. And I need to have Wifi and nmbd running, even if no one is logged in. So probably will have to cope with the network-manager, and see how I can configure Wifi (maybe with wpa_cli ?) to set the wlan interface through the network-manager. In this case, I hope seeing nmbd start automatically when the wifi interface comes up, as when a user logs into Gnome.
