Public bug reported: When administrator misspells mappings for external flat networks, nova fails with obscure trace during instance creation:

Proposal: add some kind of WARNING in this place to let the administrator know that no matching mappings found. ** Affects: neutron Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
