+	   Microsoft Windows XP bundles the "Remote NDIS" (RNDIS) protocol,

+	   older versions of Windows.
+
+	   To make MS-Windows work with this, use Documentation/usb/linux.inf
+	   as the "driver info file".  For versions of MS-Windows older than
+	   XP, you'll need to download drivers from Microsoft's website; a URL
+	   is given in comments found in that info file.
