This is a guide to help connect USB devices to your remote WSL setup (all of this is copied from the original documentation):
Install the USBIPD-WIN project
Support for connecting USB devices is not natively available in WSL, so you will need to install the open-source usbipd-win project.
- Go to the latest release page for the usbipd-win project.
- Select the .msi file, which will download the installer. (You may get a warning asking you to confirm that you trust this download).
- Run the downloaded usbipd-win_x.msi installer file.
In PowerShell administrator:
- usbipd list
- usbipd bind --busid <busid>
- put the bus id (ex. 4-4) for <busid>
- usbipd attach --wsl --busid <busid>
In Ubuntu terminal:
- lsusb
- confirm it is connected to remote setup because you will see it listed
