I have used qemu with -net user with my hosts' wifi interface. However, due to the nature of how wifi works, I think it would be impossible to setup a bridge (like you can do with a wired lan) and use the tap interface to provide full access to a qemu guest. One reason is one-to-one mapping between a wifi interface and it's AP. > Example: Qemu_VM could be configured to use wireless (in a different > subnet) while the host be on wired interface. I suspect that using a tap interface, and some ipfilt rules, you might be able to make this work. Assuming that the host doesn't have anything to do with that interface, you could write the ipfilt rules to push all the packets to the tap interface with a rewrite rule. However, I can't give you much help beyond that. I don't do ipfilt these days.
