What is the recommended configuration for LXD network access in host
environments with only wlan0 active?

I'm attempting to use LXD 2.1 on a laptop for development and testing.
It seems that adding a bridge lxcbr0 to wlan0 is unsupported or at
best problematic depending on adapter.

LXD host details:
- Gentoo Linux ~amd64 OS
- Intel iwlwifi Wireless-N 1000 NIC
- connman manages either wlan0 or eth0 active, exclusive.
  I could set eth0 to a static IP if necessary, at the cost of wired
DHCP functionality.
- dnsmasq installed but not running, would need to config DHCP for LXD
containers only.

Thanks,
Jeff Kowalczyk
