gnetlist only assigns names to nets which it considers unnamed; so if a 
net which should be named is called "unnamed_<i>", the netname= attribute 
is somehow not recognized.

- Are you sure the attribute is well-formed (i.e., doesn't contain any 
extra whitespace)?
- Are you sure the attribute is attached to a net object?
- Are you sure the net object which the attribute is attached to is 
connected to the rest of the net?
