Stupid question, how do you expose the wlan0 interface to an LXC container?

I have nearly finished to patch openwrt for openvz, which is similar
to LXC, but I have not managed to get wlan0 exposed, especially by
multiple containers at the same time.

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
