Bridging libvirt to a wireless network

I'm trying to create a bridge to use with libvirt (basically, I want my VMs to have network access):

# brctl addbr virbr1
# brctl addif virbr1 wlan0
can't add wlan0 to bridge virbr1: Operation not supported

After some research, it turns out that bridging wireless clients is not supported. Is there any workaround to this? I need to somehow give network access to my VMs, but it seems that there's no workaround for this.

[EDIT]
NAT is useless to me, because most networks that my laptop moves about have no IPv4 connectivity.
