libvirt: Create a NAT-based virtual network that uses wireless connection

I have a libvirt host [QEMU/KVM] that has ethernet [ eth0 ] and wireless [ wlan0 ] interfaces: etho : host uses it to access the local network wlan0 : I want VMs to exclusively use it to connect to the internet Since it's not possible to bridge a virtual network to wlan0 , I've created a virtual network with NAT that forwards traffic to it, except it doesn't work: VMs are unable to reach any network outside the host, but when eth0 is disabled, VMs can access the internet From a guest, I can successfully ping both wlan0 address [ 192.168.0.190 ] and the default gateway of wlan0 [ 192.168.0.192)
