Comment 2 Martin Gracik 2011-10-04 14:57:56 UTC 
The network module was removed from firstboot, so this needs to be changed in the documentation.
Comment 3 Jack Reed 2011-12-09 00:17:01 UTC 
Thanks Mark and Martin.

I've deleted 'network' from the list of configuration options in that paragraph. The change will be available in the 6.3 version of the guide.
