The gui/terminal dichotomy's quite real when the people who write all your interfaces and applications believe in it. What good is ssh-ing to localhost when nothing you care about works from there?
My first program for PocketPC wasn't "hello world", it was "start/run" -- the alternative being inserting fixed strings in file associations via regedit! Being written in Java, half-divorced from the standard process model, the gap in Android apps must be even larger.

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>.
