Is it possible to add network config with --cloud-init?

[codecowboy]

I am trying to use cloud-init with ubuntu on a raspberry pi and am having issues with network configuration. I decided to try multipass to see if I could debug the issue locally without juggling sd cards. The cloud-init docs state:

You can pass the user-data file to Multipass and launch a Bionic instance named test-vm with the following command:

multipass launch bionic --name test-vm --cloud-init user-data
Multipass will validate the user-data configuration file before starting the VM. This breaks all cloud-init configuration formats except the user-data cloud-config.

But if I try to include network config in a user-data file I get:

Error: Cloud config schema errors: network: Additional properties are not allowed ('network' was unexpected),

I would be grateful if someone could let me know whether what I am trying to do is even possible with the multipass implementation of cloud-init?
