Hello @jeteve!

I had replied to you in this [post](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/17305#issuecomment-1563238130).

All steps are better explained in my [git repository](https://github.com/hardkeo/bridge-support-on-wsl2)

After applying the steps, you can optionally install **bridge-utils** to be able to see which virtual interfaces are associated with a bridge:

`sudo apt install bridge-utils`  
`brctl show`
