not detecting wireless adapter

[BDhackers009]

Hello sir, I wanted to learn something. I just attached my wireless adapter using usbipd-win to WSL(Kali). Now when I type lsusb it is showing the adapter but it didnt showing the adapter in the output of the ifconfig.I tried to run wifite(wireless pentesting tools) but its also not detecting the adapter. I am totally failed to find any solution of that please help me if you can. I am currently running windows 10.

This looks like a missing driver in the Linux kernel. The default WSL kernel does not support USB network devices. Did you compile your own? See https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win/wiki/WSL-support#building-your-own-usbip-enabled-wsl-2-kernel.

You can look through the (open and closed) issues list for others that had the same experience with USB storage devices, bluetooth, etc. The default WSL kernel only has support for (some) USB-to-serial devices. For anything else, you really need to compile your own.

Sir I tried to compile the kernel. Everything was fine but I couldn't find the bz-Image in arch/x86.....

1. confirm (m

Here is the output of uname -a

and sorry I am not a kernel expert I dont know how to use modprobe or what module should I load..can you help me with that sir

[dorssel]

From https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:148f-7601
Did you configure those CONFIG_XXX ? If so, did you configure them into the kernel statically (Y) or as a module (M) when you did make menuconfig? If as a module (M), then you need to load them with modprobe <modulename>. I don't have this device myself, so I don't know what the module(s) are actually called. All modules are under the /lib/modules directory. Just look in there to find if anything looks like it has the right name for this device.

SIr I just followed https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win/wiki/WSL-support#building-your-own-usbip-enabled-wsl-2-kernel
this instruction from first to last and I didnt do anything else as you said. I just added CONFIG_USB=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=n (it is because the compilation showed an error messege that telling to disable that CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF)

[dorssel]

You will have to be a little bit more creative than that. Of course, you will have to enable exactly the drivers for your device. I don't have your device, so I can only point you in the right direction. Now it is up to you.

I got it....i am not the right person to do this thing I need to study more about kernel compiling thanks and sorry for wasting your valuable time on me sir.

I found that the utility named 'bc' wasn't installed I installed that and now it's compiling...You should add bc in the list of necessary packages installation command.

Are you sure that step was successful? Also, someone else already pointed out that after the cd tools/usb/usbip part, the command to go back to the original directory is missing. So, the arch/x86/boot dir is relative to the WSL2-Linux-Kernel dir. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#357 (reply in thread)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AQAS3W4OCLTVU6VLBOND73LVGUHVZANCNFSM5UFMZFAA> .

When building for a new kali-linux WSL these where all packages I needed to install:
