The issue names the xt_bpf kernel module but no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the WSL kernel configuration and module-build entry points, then determine how kernel-module support is verified for Docker Desktop on Windows. Done means xt_bpf support is present and its availability can be verified.
