    def create(self, name, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        Create a network. Similar to the ``docker network create``.

        Args:
            name (str): Name of the network
            driver (str): Name of the driver used to create the network
            options (dict): Driver options as a key-value dictionary
            ipam (IPAMConfig): Optional custom IP scheme for the network.
            check_duplicate (bool): Request daemon to check for networks with
                same name. Default: ``None``.
            internal (bool): Restrict external access to the network. Default
                ``False``.
            labels (dict): Map of labels to set on the network. Default
                ``None``.
            enable_ipv6 (bool): Enable IPv6 on the network. Default ``False``.
            attachable (bool): If enabled, and the network is in the global
                scope,  non-service containers on worker nodes will be able to
                connect to the network.
            scope (str): Specify the network's scope (``local``, ``global`` or
                ``swarm``)
            ingress (bool): If set, create an ingress network which provides
                the routing-mesh in swarm mode.

        Returns:
            (:py:class:`Network`): The network that was created.

        Raises:
            :py:class:`docker.errors.APIError`
                If the server returns an error.

        Example:
            A network using the bridge driver:

                >>> client.networks.create("network1", driver="bridge")

            You can also create more advanced networks with custom IPAM
            configurations. For example, setting the subnet to
            ``192.168.52.0/24`` and gateway address to ``192.168.52.254``.

            .. code-block:: python

                >>> ipam_pool = docker.types.IPAMPool(
                    subnet='192.168.52.0/24',
                    gateway='192.168.52.254'
                )
                >>> ipam_config = docker.types.IPAMConfig(
                    pool_configs=[ipam_pool]
                )
                >>> client.networks.create(
                    "network1",
                    driver="bridge",
