nl80211 isnt part of Kernel #8671
Comments
This is to be expected on WSL2 since it's running in a virtualized environment. The only network interface in a WSL2 distribution is a virtual NIC which is NAT'd behind a Hyper-V virtual switch. You just don't and won't have access to (most) physical ports or interfaces on the host computer. |

@Ry-DS That's a good point - I didn't scan the full logs, but yes, this is also apparently about accessing the WLAN adapter over USB/IP. I originally thought it was about direct access to a physical adapter. |
