Android (operating system)

From Wikipedia (FYI):

Quote:
Android is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. Initially developed by Android, Inc., which Google backed financially and later bought in 2005, Android was unveiled in 2007 along with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance: a consortium of hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices. The first publicly available smartphone running Android, the HTC Dream, was released on October 22, 2008.

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>. BSD
