Subject: bridge mac80211_hwsim AP to internet?

Hi,
I'm using mac80211_hwsim to simulate a virtual STA and a virtual AP.
How can I bridge the virtual AP to a backhaul link on my PC (e.g. a
physical ethernet link) for real internet connection? i.e. so that my
virtual STA can access the internet.  The AP could be configured in
NAT mode or layer-2 bridge mode. Is it possible/supported?

Many thanks!
Joshua
