Ok, use phys to pass the wireless nic to an specific container namespace in
/var/lib/${container}/config[1]. Keep in mind that the wileress nic won't
be available in the host network namespace or any other container after you
pass it to a container.

An interface can be only in one network namespace.

Describe your topology for more information.

[1] lxc.container.conf(5)
