wlan0 (checked seems to be
there) and one slirp-leg should do the trick...
As an alternative to the pcap-leg you can try a tap-leg for vde and
bridge it with wlan0 and/or pan0 (bridge enabled in the kernel?
bridge-utils available?).
Note regarding slirp in vde: Once inherited from qemu but dates
March 2008 which would mean that latest refactoring in qemu
didn't go in it. Maybe not ideal but for our purpose probably
sufficient.
