You will never be able to drop complete second stage of a non-trivial 
autoyast setup. Otherwise almost whole installation would need 
to be in inst-sys (e.g. mail,ldap,samba) not to mention third party
autoyast clients like e.g. OSS is using. So as far as I see it, there is
simply no need to change network setup for traditional autoyast install.
It should simply happen in second stage like in SLE11, the semi-auto 
case might need to be different and there might be value in doing network
setup in first stage but so far I was not aware about plans for such a
change in traditional autoyast and so far I also see not value in doing
such a change in autoyast.
