Description
I can't (real hardware) wireless interfaces on wsl2, which is required by some programs.
A future that enables switching WSL from an internal network (vEthernet) to an external network (actual hardware) like USB or PCI to access a wireless adapter will solve this problem.
one of the programs am talking about is airmon-ng, and other pen-testing tools, and ((((((Remote Desktop))))).

Research direction
The issue names WSL2, USB or PCI wireless adapters, and tools such as airmon-ng. No files, tests, or entry points are provided, so begin by reviewing WSL2 networking and hardware-access documentation and related issue discussions. Done would require a defined, reproducible way to expose a real wireless interface to WSL2.
