+### `Network=`
+
+Specify a custom network for the pod.
+This has the same format as the `--network` option to `podman pod create`.
+For example, use `host` to use the host network in the pod, or `none` to not set up networking in the pod.
+
+As a special case, if the `name` of the network ends with `.network`, Quadlet will look for the corresponding `.network` Quadlet unit.
+If found, Quadlet will use the name of the Network set in the Unit, otherwise, `systemd-$name` is used.
+The generated systemd service contains a dependency on the service unit generated for that `.network` unit,
+or on `$name-network.service` if the `.network` unit is not found

 ### `PodmanArgs=`
 
 This key contains a list of arguments passed directly to the end of the `podman kube play` command
