You are trying to fit a neural network with no connections. That makes no
sense unless skip=T (as on the page you are quoting).

`contributors'? Do see the DESCRIPTION file: it is hardly anonymous work.

You have not shown us the call you used, but the default arguments are
size = rep(6, 2), lambda = c(0.001, 0.01) so you have used non-default
args without telling us what.

Please do re-read the basic description of neural nets and nnet().
