Did you verify that you are actually receiving the name servers in the
DHCP response? If not, then you may have to add a "require
domain-name-server" option to the dhcp options list.

If those are set to "yes", and you are getting the name server list from
the provider, then something else is screwing up the works.. the only
other thing you have in the picture is Networkmanager. Dump that, and
let the init scripts do all the work for you. Use the package
dhcp-client, unless you have a compelling need to use dhcpcd (which is
the SuSE default). Dhcp-client does require the domain-name-server list,
by default; I don't know about dhcpcd.
