autofs doesn't work automatically with NIS mounts; workarounds?

I can't get autofs to work with my NIS mount maps automatically. Once I'm up, if I restart autofs (reload doesn't work) it will then work properly.

I've tried various workarounds I've found on the Internet but they don't seem to work or aren't practical; for instance, I set

NETWORKWAIT=yes

in /etc/sysconfig/network, didn't help.

I could put a long sleep in the autofs startup script to get it to wait until networking was actually up, but this seems clumsy at best.

Any other thoughts? As I understand it, this is an issue with NetworkManager startup returning successfully before the interface is up, so there is no networking available when autofs gets started.
