[PATCH] USB: usbnet (8/9) module for RNDIS devices
This adds host-side RNDIS support to the "usbnet" driver, so Linux can talk to various devices (often based on WinCE) that otherwise only Windows could talk to. Tested with little-endian Linux talking to a Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS based peripheral. This also includes updates from Eddie C. Dost <ecd@brainaid.de> for big-endian SPARC Linux talking to a Nokia 9500 Communicator. It's still marked as EXPERIMENTAL because this code is so young. This ought to let Linux to work with various cable modems that previously would have been "Windows Only".
