Connecting WSL to Network: Automatically
By default, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is not configured properly to connect to your WIFI network. When working with a team on a WSL-based build system, I found that this became an issue fairly frequently. Whenever we introduced a new team member to the build system, they would run the setup script, which would fail because WIFI was not available. The issue stemmed from the fact that I wanted new team members to simply run the setup script and be done. If they had to solve the WIFI issue first, that would not be the case. So instead I set out to find a way to automatically solve the WIFI connection issue as part of the setup script. The result is a fairly generic and (in my opinion) useful bash script that will first check for a valid connection, and then attempt to overwrite (with users permission) the resolv.conf file in an attempt to fix the connection if one is not present.
