Support AF_PACKET address family (tcpdump/wireshark...)
From https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/1628
It would be great to get support for AF_PACKET, as some networking tools or software rely on that.
Samples of tool that won't work without it:
- tcpdump (socket: Invalid argument)
- wireshark
- some nmap functions
- Scapy

This is a desperately needed feature support for doing *********** testing using Kali tools in WSL.

Stop +1 spamming this people. Just Vote for it. That's where your +1 comes in. If you're going to comment, having something relevant to say like perhaps your use case so we can push up on the backlog.
