Kali on windows 10 WSL is not detecting wireless adapter

[ManiAc_BD]

last night i installed kali on windows 10 WSL on my desktop
after setting metasploit and other tools i notice there are no wireless adapter detect

everything working fine here without the wireless adapter
anyone having the problem ?

im using TP-Link TL-WN727N wireless adapter

i have aslo tried lsusb , iwcofig, ifconfig output is 0

It's still a windows kernel underneath (thus windows drivers) and my guess it's a limitation of WSL and/or the windows drivers.

Work around: Use VirtualBox or VMware workstation

I don't believe packet capture/injection will ever be available on Windows (even though NPCAP exists, it is unstable and work on a very limited number of cards and only allows packet capture in a more limited way than linux)

how do you get wlan0 in VirtualBox to be used by kali?

passwdmo, unrelated to this, so next time, open a new thread.

However, here is the answer: simply plug it.
