This means you need to specify a service that provides 'networking'.

Along with 'dhcp-client-service' (as David mentioned), also
'static-networking-service', 'wicd-service', 'network-manager-service'
and 'connman-service' provide 'networking' (I'm not sure if all of them
are in a good working shape though).  See

Error messages and documentation are not perfect, the patches are always
welcome :-)
