+Subject: [PATCH] Fix test_connect_with_mac_address for Docker v29.3
+
+With (moby/moby#52040), Docker v29.3.0 now correctly applies the
+MacAddress field in EndpointSettings when connecting a container
+to a network.
+
+The test connected a stopped container to immediately inspect it.
+
+Start the container before connecting to the network so the MAC
+is correctly applied and reflected in inspect on both old and new
+Docker versions.
+
+Fixes: https://github.com/docker/docker-py/issues/3389
