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 Android devices.
