The wording of the user guide is a bit misleading. If you
you reboot into the "real" MacOS, then you have to open the
TCP/IP panel in order to enable networking in MacOS (without MOL).

...thus booting from a disk-image-based mol is a non-issue
with respect to networking.

I can recommend using mol-0.9.64 though. If you run a not too
ancient 2.4 kernel, then networking will work more or less
out of the box. 

Documentation about the 0.9.64 networking (also relevant
to earlier version of mol) is available in 

	/usr/share/doc/mol-0.9.64/Networking

The www based userguide is not quite up to date, although
mostly correct.
