URNDIS(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		     URNDIS(4)

NAME
       urndis -- USB Remote NDIS Ethernet device

SYNOPSIS
       To  compile  this  driver into the kernel, place	the following lines in
       your kernel configuration file:

	     device ehci
	     device uhci
	     device ohci
	     device xhci
	     device usb
	     device miibus
	     device uether
	     device urndis

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at	boot time,  place  the
       following line in loader.conf(5):

	     if_urndis_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The  urndis  driver  provides Ethernet access over Remote NDIS (RNDIS),
       allowing	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 explicitly 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).

HARDWARE
       The urndis driver supports the "tethering" functionality	 of  many  An-
       droid devices.
