You type as if you don't have an Android phone.

There is a lot that can be done with a terminal window on Android. I use it to move files around, create directories, delete files, add applications, etc.

Someday you will be able to compile a Java app on an Android phone, we are just not their yet.

I find it funny when people criticize a technology that is out for a few months compared to OS features they have used for decades. Especially when they don't seem to have hands on experience with it.

Even UNIX was not available to the masses when it first came out. These things take time..... even Linux was considered a joke at one point in time, remember?

urndis

URNDIS(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 URNDIS(4)

NAME

     urndis -- USB Remote NDIS Ethernet device

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device ehci
	   device uhci
	   device ohci
	   device xhci
	   device usb
	   device urndis

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_urndis_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The urndis driver provides Ethernet access over Remote NDIS (RNDIS), allowing mobile devices such as phones and tablets to provide network
     access.  It is often referred to as USB tethering, and in most cases must be explicitly enabled on the device.

     urndis should work with any USB RNDIS devices, such as those commonly found on Android devices.  It does not support different media types or
     options.  For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

HARDWARE

     The urndis driver supports the "tethering" functionality of many Android devices.

SEE ALSO

     arp(4), cdce(4), ipheth(4), netintro(4), usb(4), ifconfig(8)

HISTORY

     The urndis device driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.7.  The first FreeBSD release to include it was FreeBSD 9.3.

AUTHORS

     The urndis driver was written by Jonathan Armani <armani@openbsd.org>, Michael Knudsen <mk@openbsd.org>, and Fabien Romano
     <fabien@openbsd.org>.  It was ported to FreeBSD by Hans Petter Selasky <hps@FreeBSD.org>.
