Yeah it works.

I can finally ping, do ifconfig etc.

Even htop runs. I am amazed! http://imgur.com/7P2J64h

This alone made WSL way more useful for me. Only thing that's missing now is traceroute.

We're working on traceroute for a future release. In the meantime, you can run `tracert.exe <ip>` from within Bash which will invoke the Windows trace-route command-line tool to do the same thing ;)
