Hi Unmesh,

I actually just recently did the work to specify networks as part of the
nova boot command, hopefully this saves you some work.  Pull request is
here:  https://github.com/rackspace/python-novaclient/pull/137

I added it as an optional parameter to the main "boot" command, but would be
fine if others felt that a "boot-ext" command was more appropriate.
