Windows 10: How can I have a wireless card pass-through WSL2 so I can use as a wireless monitor on Kali?

Hello, Microsoft community,I started using WSL2 with Kali on my Windows 11 machine. I found the setting to mirror my network interfaces to the WSL2 environment. I noticed that my Kali WSL2 environment will not see the wireless card unless I connect the card to a wireless access point on the Windows host. If I connect to a wireless network on Windows, the wireless card will appear on the Linux environment but instead of showing up as a wlan# card, it shows as another eth# connection. How can I access a wireless card connected to the Windows host on my Kali Linux WSL2 environment?

Problem with wireless connection

Hi,

What is the make and model of your computer?

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the following link:

Wired and wireless network problems

Fix Wi-Fi connection issues in Windows - Microsoft Support

Also applies to Windows 10.

If the issue persist, I suggest you to un-install the current version of wireless card driver installed and then try to download and install wireless card drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check.

Follow the steps on how to un-install the wireless card driver.

• 
  Press Windows Key + X.
  
• 
  Select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand Network adaptors.
  
• 
  Right click on wireless card driver and select
  Un-install.
  

Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
OK to remove the driver.

After the un-installation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.

Computer will load the network adaptor card. Now you may check with the issue.

If the above steps doesn't help, I suggest you to login to other computer which has internet connectivity, visit the computer manufacturer website of the issue computer and then download the latest driver
for the wireless card and save it to a external flash drive. Once you successfully save the drivers setup file, insert the flash drive on the issue computer and then try to install the drivers and check with the issue.
