The fk requires a corresponding row in network. But my update tries to
reference the right network, that one where the ip address belongs to.

I'm using 8.0.3 and there are some new operators related to inet and
cidr data types.
On page 157, I found "<<" as address/network "is contained in" network.
Finding the net where an address belongs to works as:
SELECT id FROM network WHERE inet '$p_ipSource' << id;
