It would be nice if we could provide a default config, but we can't do that until we guarantee that we have a known network setup. Since wireless cannot be bridged and we haven't decided whether we are willing to depend on libvirt-bin, this would have to mean:
1. create bridge lxcbr0
2. set up NAT from lxcbr0 to default route
3. choose a private subnet and run dnsmasq on lxcbr0
Note lxc-create does not fail silently - it actually produces a loud warning, provides two sample config files, and demands input before continuing. Witness:
Warning:
-------
Usually the template option is called with a configuration
file option too, mostly to configure the network.
eg. lxc-create -n foo -f lxc.conf -t debian
The configuration file is often:

At this point, I assume you know what you do.

Note also that sample configurations are offered with the package.
I'm going to mark this low priority, rather than wishlist, because I do believe such a default would help tremendously with adoption by new users.
