This won't work.

The VNIC code disallows the use of a wireless NIC underneath. In  
testing, none of the wireless NICs I could try would allow the  
transmission of packets with a source MAC address other than that of  
the device itself. Given that this is the basic mechanism used to  
enable VNICs, this meant that guest domains were not able to  
successfully transmit packets (as they use a different MAC address  
from that of the underlying NIC).

If we can figure out how to make wireless NICs "do the right thing"  
then we can remove the restriction from the VNIC code.
