Not sure I'm understanding you right, but IIUC your real problem is that
you can't bridge a wireless device.  That's nothing to do with network
manager.  You get around that by using a separate bridge for your VMs,
and forwarding its traffic to your wireless NIC.  If you install
libvirt-bin, it'll create virbr0 by default which does the right thing,
and to which you can connect your lxc containers, whether you're using
network-manager or not.

(Or of course you can create your own bridge and forwarding rules
manually)
