Bug Description

The init_host method in the abstract Network manager class invokes driver.init_host().
This causes linux_net.init_host() to be invoked even for the Flat Network manager.
linux_net.init_host() configures IP tables for floating IP forwarding. However floating IPs will not work in flat mode because the source natting will not work.

This configure is therefore probably unnecessary. The __init__ method in FlatManager might be overriden in order to not call super.__init__, and floating IP commands should raise NotImplemented() for now.
