Running example 8th, the VM network is not being set up.

[chunji08]

First of all, thanks for this project, that I can give a try on my vmware system !

I have tried the 08 example coming with the build, to try to see if I could have a VM created, along with the network setup. But somehow, the network part is missing. I can see the VM is created successfully, and I don't see any error either during the run-time.

here is the show details:
