I do not know that I want to bridge eth0 to wlan0.
You have it anyway in the current configuration.
I have one working interface on my computer wlan0.
Er, your 'ifconfig' list says otherwise. At the very least you have a
wired interface called eth0. It's irrelevant to the current problem,
though.
I want a virtual machine using KVM to be able to communicate to the
internet using wlan0.
There are multiple ways of doing it. Bridge, NAT, tunnels, you name it.
All documentation I can find indicates that is done with a bridge.
Because it's the simpliest way to accomplish such connectivity. But
about the only *real* need to use a bridge arises if you need the
outside world to communicate with your VM. As in - you need someone to
establish inbound connections to your VM with the minimal hassle.

with eth0. I do not use eth0. I have wlan0.
Got it.
good new! I now have br0 with eth0 and wlan0.
Just as planned.
bad new! now the laptop no longer has any internet connectivity.
Which is clearly shown by this (note NO-CARRIER):
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master br0 state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 2c:60:0c:2f:be:18 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master br0 state DOWN mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
link/ether ac:b5:7d:3d:18:df brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: br0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/ether 2c:60:0c:2f:be:18 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
So, disregarding eth0. Do you have wpa_supplicant running? Does wpa_cli
show successful association with your AP?
