Let me guess you only see eth0 inside your container, but you can reach the
LAN.
That's because your containers are attached to lxcbr0, and you are exiting
throug a NAT which it masquerades and  forwards all packets  to the wlan0
nic on the host and then to the rest of the cyber world.
Please refer to man lxc.container.conf, iptables and bridge
documentation[1] for more iformation.
