I'm using Ubuntu through WSL. When running the ifconfig, I get back two blocks; one for eth0 and one for lo. However, it is my understanding that eth0 is only for when you are connected to the internet via an ethernet cable, and yet I am using wifi and do not have a wlan0 block.
Can someone please explain why this would be the case?
My wifi box is connected via an ethernet cable, but it was my (perhaps mistaken) understanding that eth0 was only for when you had an ethernet cable plugged directly into your machine. If this is the case, is wlan0 only for when your wifi router is also wireless?
