Well, in order to help you're going to have to be more specific about
what's wrong.  What do you mean `the network connection "hangs"'?  Does it
stop responding to pings?  Can't it send data out the interface?  If you
can log into the console, what does `ifconfig -a' tell you?  What does
`netstat -rn' tell you?  Did routed delete the route to that interface?
