Description
#11292
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/11292#issuecomment-2142728474
Same problem here, docker macvlan is not available on win11 WSL2. docker macvlan is available on win11 Hyper-V Ubuntu, two conditions are required: 1. mac address spoofing is turned on for the NIC in Hyper-V Ubuntu
2. Enabled Promiscuous mode for Ubuntu.
The reason macvlan is not available for WSL2 is that mac address spoofing cannot be turned on for WSL2 (the option can be turned on for the NIC in Hyper-V, but there is no place to configure it for the NIC in WSL2)
This problem is actually very easy to solve, just make the WSL2's network interface enable mac address spoofing through the configuration file.
Such as
[wsl2]
memory=8G
[experimental]
networkingMode=bridged
_macspoofing=enabled_

Research direction
Start with linked issue #11292 and the attached WSL logs; no source file or test is named in this report. Investigate the WSL2 networking configuration path and how macvlan depends on MAC address spoofing and promiscuous mode. Done means Docker macvlan works on Windows 11 WSL2 when the requested configuration is enabled.
