    Angry WLAN (iwlwifi-6000) Not detecting in kali in win 10 WSL

    Hey
    I am planning to use kali linux alongside with my running system as WSL offer its easily. now the problem is my wlan is not working properly. I cant figure out exact problem.
    My wireless card is: Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200

    when I execute ifconfig

    Code:
    wifi0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500        inet 192.168.0.151  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255
            inet6 fe80::6522:fc06:1ce:324e  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
            unspec 00-23-14-F5-39-7D-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  (UNSPEC)

            TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
            TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
    and iwconfig

    Code:
    x@ZL:~$ iwconfigeth0      no wireless extensions.
    
    
    lo        no wireless extensions.
    
    
    wifi0     no wireless extensions.
    
    
    eth1      no wireless extensions.
