I probably did something terribly wrong as there is no networking service 
at all. I added the service definition into my system config.scm
(services (cons (dhcp-client-service)
                  %base-services))

it did something, but probably not the right thing. Generally it is not 
obvious to me what the argument [#:dhcp isc-dhcp] should be... maybe this 
is it?
