can i create a bridged network for wsl2

yes; you can

I am using WSL2 Debian, so these are my notes:

wsl –shutdown

create a file  .wslconfig in C:\Users\your_user_name  make  sure  file name is .wslconfig, not extension .txt etc…

[wsl2]
networkingMode=bridged
vmSwitch=wsl
memory=4GB # Limits VM memory in WSL 2 to 4 GB
processors=5 # Makes the WSL 2 VM use 5 virtual processors

[network]
generateHosts=false
generateResolvConf=false

reboot, or restart your wsl2 process .

get back to wsl2 command prompt, meaning you are at Linux command

sudo ip add flush dev eth0
sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.30/24 dev eth0
sudo ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
