os.networkInterfaces error in NodeJS / Yeoman

[StfBauer]

I managed to successfully install NodeJS, NPM and Yeoman. You see all installed components in the version below.

When create a new project and type.
yo <generator-name>
Everything works fine. A problem happens when I just try yo. Because Yeoman somehow tries to access the network interfaces of the operation system propably. This won't work on BashOnWindows because there is no network interface directly included in the Linux Sub System and just use the same network as the host one.

Am I completely wrong or can this be fixed in future releases? Thanx.

Stefan Bauer (@StfBauer) - If you can grab a strace of the failing command 'yo', we can see where it is failing and if it is tripping on something that is currently unimplemented. Thanks for trying out WSL!

Sunil Muthuswamy (@sunilmut) Thank you. Attached the strace to this comment. Hope you find something useful.

Thanx for your great work so far. Love this.

socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
WSL currently does not support NETLINK sockets. We are using our user voice page to prioritize the things to implement next. Please feel free to up vote this relevant task.

Sunil Muthuswamy (@sunilmut) Thank you for the update. This will be required for the new SharePoint Framework update released by Microsoft. Because it use Yeoman generator to extend SharePoint from Linux, MacOSX as well as Windows.
In this case it would be great to use it from Bash On Windows.
Will add a user voice.

I had a similar problem when trying to run the ionic.

Error getting IPv4 address: Error: EINVAL: invalid argument, uv_interface_addresses (CLI v1.7.15)

Stefan Bauer (@StfBauer): I don't know for sure, but could the UserVoice suggestion you created be a duplicate of https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/266908-command-prompt-console-bash-on-ubuntu-on-windo/suggestions/13383789-enable-network-interface-enumeraration?
