Seems likely as yast shouldn't hang, it almost suggests that it was 
never used during install, it starts up to let you configure your system.

In VC mode yast is like what I remember of Borland C, in X, yast is 
graphical and is as good and probably better than most any configurator 
on any OS.
Unless I missed it, I haven't seen the output of "ifconfig" or "lsmod" 
plus details of what card you have - "lspci" and anything relating to 
dhcpd leases in /var/log/messages.
