ip command ( replacement for ifconfig) not working

[dragon512]

Build 14931

This might be a duplicate issue as ifconfig does not work as well. Just logging it here.

the command ip fail: (example)

ip
SO_SNDBUF: Invalid argument

From a networking point of view it would be nice for this to work as "ifconfig" as I understand it is being replaced with "ip"
Should note that all commands to ip seem to fail the same way.

Thanks @dragon512 for the feedback. Yes, ip tool does not work today, just as ifconfig, for different reasons though. ip has dependency on NETLINK sockets and ifconfig relies on SIOCG* IOCTLS. Both of these are currently not implemented in WSL and we are looking into enabling these tools. This is also covered in this User Voice Post. Feel free to voice your opinion and vote there. Similar posts are #908, #767. Do bear with us as we make progress and hopefully you are having fun with WSL!

Closing as dupe of #908, #767.
