My intention with NetworkDevice was for it to be a stripped-down class
to represent a network interface, maybe even contain as an attribute the
"real" network interface instance from network.py. Devices like iscsi
would have the NetworkDevice as one of their parents, so they would have
a way to up/down the interface as needed to set up the device. However,
if this works well then great.

Again, not what I had imagined, but I didn't dig down to actually
implementing any network storage devices so maybe my plan was
impractical. The important thing is that it works well and minimizes
unnecessary entanglements, which it seems to do.
