Goal: Make a Linux vm see the virutal nic as wifi0

 

In Hyper-V, I made an Internal Virtual Switch. I created a Legacy Network Adapter for a Linux vm and set it to use the internal virtual switch. I then went to my Windows host machine and set the wireless nic card's properties to ICS sharing on the vSwitch adapter. (I did it with ICS because a network bridge solution seems unintuative or maybe not possible).

 

Regardless, the Linux vm now sees 'Eth0' and yes does connect to the Internet. Here is the problem; I need to make the Linux vm see the 'eth0' vSwitch/ICS Connected Wireless NIC as: Wifi0.

 

*note: i'm aware that in WSL you cannot connect wireless drivers to a linux win-app because, by design, WSL runs in user space*

 

Question: Can you configure a Linux vm to see a 'Wifi0'?
