From what I know (so needs fact checking) it sets up the usb bus as a transport and then sends Ethernet over that.
From a more practical view - I enable CDC-ECM (?) in my device drivers. It is in the same Kconfig section as RNDIS.

Did you hear about RDNIS being removed from the Linux kernel? Thoughts?
Given that one of the Implementations of RNDIS was called Horrendous (best said with a French Accent!) it gives a clue as to how loved it was. I have bad memories of trying to get it working to talk to Windows systems.
However, note that the functionality has not gone away. I am using CDC Ethernet to provide Ethernet over USB on the
g_ether module.6 replies

@Ming any comment?
honestly, it was nice to have it as it provided a form of ethernet in USB. very nifty when the board doesnt come with an ethernet port.
