Thanks so much for this. It led me to virsh and eventually to the Fedora 
doco at
   https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LXC

which is where I should have searched first. After I start libvirtd, it 
tells me to:
   Edit the file /etc/lxc/default.conf and change the parameter 
'lxc.network.link' from 'lxcbr0' to 'virbr0':

Then I can create and start a container successfully. Woo woo
