Remote NDIS (RNDIS) is a bus-independent class specification for Ethernet (802.3) network devices on dynamic Plug and Play (PnP) buses such as USB, 1394, Bluetooth, and InfiniBand. Remote NDIS defines a bus-independent message protocol between a host computer and a Remote NDIS device over abstract control and data channels. You'll see the device show up as an RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget. It'll probably be set up for DHCP by default so change it to Configure IP4 Manually. For the IP address pick 192.168.7.1 (note that this is not the same as the Pi Zero's address!); For the subnet mask, use 255.255.255.0 (same as Pi); For the router/gateway use 192.168.7.1 (same as Pi); If you didnt use our suggested netconfig above on.
Linux Usb Ethernet/rndis Gadget Drivers
Windows 7 (or 10) is unable to open the 192.168.123.123 with USB connection
Samsung Mobile USB Gadget Serial Driver driver in. USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget Remote Network Driver Interface Specification RNDIS is a Microsoft proprietary protocol used mostly on top of USB. Rpi zero not recognized as usb ethernet/rndis gadget ssh over usb helpdesk. 16 boot modes that can be set by a 4xdip switch. Rndis gadget works with jessie lite as well. Host/slave can successfully communicate via ethernet. Of how you can use ssh again to access the adapter. From PC, go to Device Manager Network Adapters Look for unknown or problematic driver related to USB Ethernet. Open up the problem/unknown driver, choose 'Update driver' and select 'USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget'. Once install successfully, PC will be able to communicate with RFID Reader via USB connection. Steps for Win 7 PC.
It is possible that the USB Ethernet RNDIS Gadget driver is missing, see below picture.
For Windows 7, see here how to find the correct driver:

The Windows 10 reports the USB-to-Ethernet-device as USB-serial port on the Control panel. In this case the driver needs to be updated. First download the driver from below:
Then in Control Panel use right mouse click on the USB-serial port and select update driver and select option to 'seek driver from your computer' and select 'disk' and 'browse file' to choose above INF-file to update the device driver software.
If Windows 10 refuses to install the INF-file because of it is not signed file, then do as described in this page to disable the driver signature enforcement and install the driver:
Also this youtube video shows how to disable signature enforcement so that you will be able to install the driver:
After the successful driver installation you should be able to 'ping 192.168.123.123' if USB cable is connected to the controller board.
In order to use USB Device as USB Ethernet you will first need a new kernel compiled from source.The instructions to compile the kernel can be found here.
Install the kernelNow that you have a kernel you can install it as you would our stock. See the #Backup / Restore section for examples on writing this to media.
Once you have added the newly compiled kernel to your image you will now have Ethernet Gadgets driver built in which will allow you to use USB Device as USB Ethernet. The board must be setup prior to connection to a host PC.
Now assign an IP address to the new usb0 interface
The IP address in the above example may be any valid IP address, but should typically not be on the same subnet as the Ethernet network on the the board (if connected), or the host computer to which the SBC will be connected.
Connecting Linux Host to the board via IP over USB
Most modern Linux distributions already have all of the required modules (such as usbnet.ko) and utilities installed, so the setup steps are minimal. Simply plug in the board after it has been prepared for IP over USB (see above) and observe that a new interface has been added named usb0 or similar (use dmesg | tail to verify). You can now assign an IP address to that interface with ifconfig (e.g. ifconfig usb0 192.168.42.21) and begin using the TCP/IP connection. To test your connection, use ping 192.168.42.20. You should also be able to login to the SBC using ssh ie. ssh root@192.168.42.40.
Connecting Windows XP Host to the board via IP over USB
An additional driver interface configuration file called linux.inf is required for IP over USB connection to a Windows host. First, download this file onto the Windows PC and remember where you placed it. The linux.inf file can be downloaded here. Next, connect the board and Windows PC with the A to B USB cable (ISB Cable). You should see the 'Found New Hardware Wizard'. Answer the prompts as follows:
Linux Usb Ethernet Rndis Gadget Driver Windows 7
- Select Include this location in the search and choose the location of the driver you downloaded. Finish running the wizard.
- Go to the Control Panel and open 'Network Connections'. Right-click the new connection (labeled 'Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget') and click 'Rename'. Rename it to something useful such as 'USB Network'.
- Right-click on the newly labeled icon, and select properties.
- Under the properties General tab, select the item labeled Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
- Select Use the following IP Address, and enter 192.168.42.21.
- Click OK; Click OK
- You may now access the board via the TCP/IP connection. Use ping in the Command Prompt window to verify connectivity (e.g. ping 192.168.42.20).
| Note: | The IP address above may be any valid IP address, but must be in the same subnet as the IP address assigned to the board IP over USB connection above. The subnet used should also be different from any other interfaces on the SBC or PC, otherwise strange results may occur. |
