Kali Linux WSL 2 Windows Terminal wlan0

Question

I downloaded Kali Linux WSL 2 Terminal to my Windows 10. However, it is not showing wlan0 even though I'm connected to the internet.

Is there a way to solve this, or is my Wi-Fi adapter not compatible?

Error: airmon-ng did not find any wireless interfaces

wifi      = none (no device)

What isn't showing wlan0? What is this thing showing instead? Why are you expecting to see wlan0? What hardware is this? Please explain what you are doing here. Also, please consider NOT using Kali. I believe Windows also provides an Ubuntu image, why not use that? Kali is not supposed to be used as a regular system, it is a specialist tool designed for professional pen testers and absolutely the worst place to start learning. — terdon

It's not showing the wifi thingy idk. I edited the post. And I also have Ubuntu, but wanted to try Kali. — aaaaaa

Please don't undo helpful edits. The bold is distracting and you even brought back a spelling error! "Thought" is not the word you want here, you want "though". — terdon

You won't see wlan0 because Windows is already using it. All you get in WSL is a generic network connection
