I've had no troubles with the forwarded bridge with wireless NIC. Still
it might be worth discussing this at UDS. Stéphane Graber offers a
default network in arkose which he had mentioned offering as example/demo
in lxc. At the last UDS Orlando, it was decided that (for then) we did
not want lxc to get mired down in such details, and we should indeed
use libvirt.

Stéphane, do you object to depending on libvirt and installing a default
/etc/lxc.conf using virbr0 for O? Would you prefer to follow the route
Arkose uses as you'd mentioned at the sprint? Or should we just do
nothing for O?

In any case we can discuss at UDS and change course for P.
