Troubleshooting section incorrect: "Bash loses network connectivity once connected to a VPN"

[thernstig]

The section "Bash loses network connectivity once connected to a VPN" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/troubleshooting#bash-loses-network-connectivity-once-connected-to-a-vpn) seems outdated.

Problem 1
5a says:

Delete the first line from the file, which says "# This file was automatically generated by WSL. To stop automatic generation of this file, remove this line.".

However, looking inside /etc/resolv.conf it reads:

This file was automatically generated by WSL. To stop automatic generation of this file, add the following entry to /etc/wsl.conf:
[network]
generateResolvConf = false

Problem 2
I actuall tried both to remove the line, and to add this to my /etc/wsl.conf (only thing I have in there):

[network]
generateResolvConf = false

but neither worked. The /etc/resolv.conf is updated once I exit/enter Ubuntu WSL2 again. Is problem 2 a documentation issue, or a real problem? For reference, my /etc/wsl.conf has permission 644.

This is a known issue that we're working on, tracked here: microsoft/WSL#8030

@craigloewen-msft when that is solved, will the docs problems described above then be correct?

Oh great call out! I've updated the docs to be more accurate in this commit.
