[Openstack-operators] Adding a Physical Network Interface to an Instance

Hi Steven,

Great! Now, you might have to assign the network to the project which you
will be launching instances from. It'll be something like:

nova-manage network modify --fixed_range=1.1.1.0/24 --project=<uuid of
project>

check "nova-manage network modify" for more info.

Then if you do "nova-manage network list" you should see the project uuid
listed for two different networks.

Thanks,
Joe
