urndis

[Rolf Nielsen]

I want to use my phone's 3G/4G capability as an ethernet connection. And I
got that working through urndis. I had an outdated prerelease of 10.0, and
when I updated the sources and compiled, urndis was installed. When I
connect my phone and enble USB tethering, the interface ue0 appears.
