Anyone working on RNDIS support?

[Bruce Simpson]

Hi,

Is anyone out there working on RNDIS driver support for FreeBSD?

For the uninitiated: RNDIS is a movement towards unifying device 
support, mostly instigated by Microsoft, where the hardware specifics of 
dealing with a device are pushed onto the device itself, perhaps using a 
microcontroller or in logic.

The device itself is treated as an NDIS 'miniport', and the role of the 
kernel driver is just to tunnel NDIS itself across whatever commodity 
bus (PCI, PCI-e, USB, etc) is in use to physically connect the device.

Just interested if anyone is doing it; the only RNDIS device I have is 
my cable modem (which already has an Ethernet port), however, we are 
seeing more Wi-Fi and DSL devices with USB RNDIS, and it would be great 
to have this support.

cheers,
BMS
