It worked for me using network (rather than NetworkManager) and setting
One thing I did notice is that using system-config-network and setting the DNS 
servers in the card section (as well as the DNS tab), removes the search line in 
the resolv.conf file (which was specified in the DNS section).
So the /etc/yp.conf server line either needs the full domain name, an IP address 
or a correct search line in the resolv.conf.

Leaving the card specific DNS lines in sys-config-network was the easiest.
