usb rndis

[Andriy Gapon]

What is status of support of USB devices that talk (MS) RNDIS ?
Are there any news or clever hacks ?

Essentially I am trying to connect to internet my FreeBSD computer using
GPRS via Asus P535 device that runs WM5 (AKU 3). I use "Internet
Sharing" program on the device side.
I tried using cdce but it doesn't attach to my device.

I am open to any suggestions both on PC and device sides.
Dump from udesc_dump follows. As I understand from
http://www.usb.org/developers/defined_class
class e0, subclass 1, protocol 3 seems to mean "Remote NDIS".
There is a huge linux patch that seems to be designed to add or improve
RNDIS support:
