Well, that's weird. It's probably worth figuring out what's going on
with that...

Is this in a separate file in "/etc/rsyslog.d", or in the main file? If
the former, what is the filename? If the latter, post the whole file.

How is it supposed to tell one set of logging entries (that you want in
your network logs) from all the other logging entries (that you don't
want in your network logs)? It needs something to discriminate on, and
your current selector is "*.*"...
