| Begin by downloading the two files whose names begin with `linux-msft-wsl-6.18.35.2-ic` in our release and | ||
| place them in `C:\Users\<your-username>\.wsl-kernel`. | ||
| - The contents of the folder should look like: | ||
| ``` | ||
| .wsl-kernel\ | ||
| ├── linux-msft-wsl-6.18.35.2-ic | ||
| └── linux-msft-wsl-6.18.35.2-ic.vhdx | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - Next open `C:\Users\<your-username>\.wslconfig` and enter the following: | ||
| ```ini | ||
| [wsl2] | ||
| kernel=C:\\Users\\<your-username>\\.wsl-kernel\\linux-msft-wsl-6.18.35.2-ic | ||
| kernelModules=C:\\Users\\<your-username>\\.wsl-kernel\\linux-msft-wsl-6.18.35.2-ic.vhdx | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Then, to fix the firmware loading issue we need to mount the firmware somewhere the kernel can see it, and | ||
| tell it where it is. | ||
| - Install it if you haven't already: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| sudo apt install linux-firmware | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - Make it available automatically: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/mnt-wsl-firmware.mount | ||
| ``` | ||
| ```ini | ||
| [Unit] | ||
| Description=Bind mount /lib/firmware to /mnt/wsl/firmware | ||
|
|
||
| [Mount] | ||
| What=/lib/firmware | ||
| Where=/mnt/wsl/firmware | ||
| Type=none | ||
| Options=bind | ||
|
|
||
| [Install] | ||
| WantedBy=multi-user.target | ||
| ``` | ||
| ```bash | ||
| sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable --now mnt-wsl-firmware.mount | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - Tell the kernel where to look for firmware: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| sudo nano /etc/tmpfiles.d/firmware-path.conf | ||
| ``` | ||
| ``` | ||
| w /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path - - - - /mnt/wsl/firmware | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - Apply it: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create /etc/tmpfiles.d/firmware-path.conf | ||
| ``` |

We need to add a section -- or maybe just an aside -- with info about wsl --update https://linear.app/intercreate/issue/OPEN-2/investigate-and-document-usage-of-wsl-update
Tip level aside makes sense to me.
