WSL : nl80211 not found fix & 8814au drivers

WSL : nl80211 not found fix & 8814au drivers

Quick facts

  • Do not save kernel source to a /mnt/c path, compile from the linux user home directory. Windows is case-insensitive, will cause random "file not found" compilation errors.
  • I'm using the Kali Windows store installation to do all these steps, this is especially important if you plan on using 8814au drivers (I don't believe they are compatible with Ubuntu)
  • Windows 10, latest windows updates & WSL.
  • The steps related to 8814au drivers can be modified as necessary.
  • For changes to take effect, WSL requires the "6 second rule" between restarts when modifying WSL related configuration files. Meaning if you issue a wsl --shutdown wait 6 seconds before issuing wsl.
