You can't currently move physical devices into containers.  You
must use either veth or macvlan.  So for instance you should be
able to use the following config:

lxc.network.type = macvlan
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = eth0
lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.136.113/26

The interface will be renamed to eth0 inside the container.
