100% ACK :)
Currently it is a bit try-and-error, but the lxc.conf man page is a good
starting point in my eyes.

I don't think so, but I haven't tried yet. 
When using the mavclan configuration, it is at least not possible to use
the WLAN interface in the base system anymore - that's no problem in my
environment, but I think this goes in the same direction...
