Based on what has been indicated here and my own understanding there are 
two high level ways you can access the network:  1) bridge + NAT and 2) 
containers directly access the host interface.

With option 1 the container can access the network via the host even if 
that host interface is wifi based.   You will configure the wifi on the 
host.
