Repro Steps

1. Add such config to .wslconfig

[wsl2]
networkingMode=mirrored

2. wsl --shutdown then wsl
3. ifconfig output is like this:

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
        inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
        inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
        loop  txqueuelen 1000  (Local Loopback)
        RX packets 76  bytes 6824 (6.8 KB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 76  bytes 6824 (6.8 KB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

There is no eth0 or other device, no matter there is or no proxy in windows.
Remove config above just works well.

Expected Behavior

There exist some network devices other than lo when mirrored network is enabled.

Actual Behavior

There is no network device other than lo when mirrored network is enabled.

I have solved this with the help of this issue.
Just open regedit and chang the value of DisabledComponents (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\) from 0xFF to something else, like Decimal 32. Then reboot and enjoy it.
