Ah, OK. Since my systems already have working ethernet the idea of installing another driver didn't make sense to me, especially since the BBB is going to live on the ethernet not be connected to USB. The real question is whether the RNDIS driver provided something that Ethernet/IP didn't. It sounds like you are saying that it doesn't. Good. I can dispense with installing the RNDIS driver on my Mac(s). > > Personally, I have had nothing but terrible experiences with RNDIS, but it > is not exactly something I am familiar with.
