DESCRIPTION
     The urndis driver provides Ethernet access over Remote NDIS (RNDIS), allow-
     ing  mobile  devices  such as phones and tablets to provide network access.
     It is often referred to as USB tethering, and in most cases must be explic-
     itly enabled on the device.

     urndis should work with any USB RNDIS devices, such as those commonly found
     on Android devices.  It does not support different media types or	options.
     For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

     devices.
