You are correct, I am not using a standard template. The command I am 
using to create my containers is

lxc-create -t /bin/true -n <name> --dir=<custom-path>/rootfs

I populate the container manually with a custom template I've made based 
on CentOS 7.1. The lxc-create command generates the expected config file 
under /var/lib/lxc/<name> is created, but it's missing an entry for 
lxc.network.hwaddr. I'll try creating a container with the stock CentOS 
template and make sure there are no other missing entries in my config 
that might be relevant.
