Right, using the readable string for the REST interface is good, but in
getHostNetworkData() for example, it looks like you
	- Get the network_config property (the string)
	- Parse it into the host_network_config_t struct
	- Parse the struct into a hex string

What purpose does the host_network_config_t struct serve?

There was one part I wasn't sure about - please see the comments I made
inline orginally below:
