--network is the default so that flag isn't needed.

I think the problem is this:

(See:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/6b80c5fb51f08d3e62393e6722655bbcd940f4e7/appliance/init#L123 )

I'm not sure what that error means, but you may be able to find out
more by running:

  virt-rescue --scratch

and trying to find out why dhclient doesn't work inside the appliance.
