The failures almost certainly have nothing to do with the problem at
hand.  They seem to happen because you don't have 'augeas-tools'
installed which is required for the test suite.

"working" == Fedora?  I wouldn't pay too much attention to these
differences.

I went back and had a look at the guestfish-network-test*.log files
that you sent previously, and there is one major problem:
virtio_net.ko doesn't exist on your host (or it does exist, but
supermin isn't picking it up for the appliance, but this unlikely).

This explains why the network doesn't work and why dhclient doesn't
work too.  I don't know why virtio-net isn't used -- perhaps it isn't
compiled into your host kernel.
