Summary: Unable to connect via external USB wireless adapter

Initial Comment:
Having a config like so

lxc.network.type = phys
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = wlan0
lxc.network.name = wlan0

and, on the guest side a properly configured wpa_supplicant.conf and
in /etc/network/interfaces a configuration like so

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

And then, upon networking start in the guest, the system will try to 
contact the DHCP server, but it will never receive any leases. 

In fact, the wlan0 interface seems to be disfunct.

The interface itself was down when starting the guest. The same
happens when the interface was already brought up on the host.
