Yast broken in SuSE 11.0 ?

I am trying to configure nics using Yast in SuSE 11.0. I am getting a message saying "Error while creating client module lan". I have tried clicking on other yast tools, and I always get a similar message "Error creating client module xx." Any ideas?

Try upgrading Yast with the 'smart' tool:
smart upgrade 'yast2*'

If it still doesn't work after this, you may have to consider to uninstall and reinstall Yast.
- in a root terminal, type:
zypper rm yast2*
- remove the folder /usr/lib/YaSt2
- then in the root terminal, type:
zypper in yast2
zypper in yast2-qt
zypper in yast2-ncurses

Note: I never had to do this myself; but here is the report by someone who did exactly and states that it solved the issue for him:

My problem is with a fresh install.....'smart' is not installed and zypper is complaining about a missing library file (I think it is openldap). I am stuck in a catch 22 - I can't download any packages to help fix yast because I can't configure the nics with yast. Is there some manual way to configure the nics?
