Simple question. Is there anyway to bridge the wireless to the ethernet NIC so it serves as an access point? (all the while dealing with 2 VMs using the ethernet NIC). Neither VM needs access to wifi just the ethernet NIC)
That depends on your wifi chipset. With most wifi chipsets you run into problems when bridging it. When you connect your wifi card to your AP your host could use it but not the guests, because it won't allow connection from different MACs. Not sure how it would be the other way round when using the wifi card as an AP. I guess wifi clients then could connect to you PVE host but not to a guest connected to the bridge.
As a workaround you usually don't bridge that wifi card but let the PVE host NAT traffic between wifi card and a bridge like described here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/WLAN
Because of the NAT everything will be send/recieved by the PVE host as a man in the middle so there is no problem with the MACs.
