I will second the recommendation to remove network-manager... I also have had success in earlier revs of ubuntu in re-ordering the startup scripts so that NIS starts before autofs... dont remember if I had to do that in Karmic or not.
This problem has been around a while now on various ubuntu and other linux distros. Network manager gets in the way in a fixed-ip "corporate" environment. On the other hand, NIS is a real pain if you are getting and releasing IP addresses frequently on a wireless LAN, which I believe is now a more frequent user scenario than a corporate scenario...
