Bug Description
The vmware_nsx NSX|V and DVS plugins enable a admin to create a provide network that points to an existing portgroup.
One is uanble to spin up and instance on these networks.
The trace is as follows:

This is due to the fact that the validation for the network selection is done according the the network UUID (which is the name of the port group). In the case of importing a existing port group this actually needs to be the name of the portgroup.
The NSX|V and DVS plugins enforce that the name of the network needs to match the name of the existing port group
