I've modified your wording slightly, like so:

 As an example, an NOW'S file system would typically have a requirement for
-@code{networking}.  However be aware that depending on @code{networking}
-might not be sufficient in setups where @code{networking} being marked
-as started does not imply the network is configured and working
-(e.g. when using @code{dhcp-client-service-type}).  In those cases, a
-custom @code{network-online} service might be necessary.  Example:
+@code{networking}.  In some situations, requiring @code{networking}

+does @emph{not} imply the network has already been configured and in
+working order (for example, when using
+@code{dhcpcd-client-service-type}).  For such cases, a custom
+@code{network-online} service might be necessary.  A sample
+@code{network-online} one-shot Shepherd service implementation is

and pushed!
