Some RNDIS devices include a bogus CDC Union descriptor pointing
to non-existing interfaces.  The RNDIS code is already prepared
to handle devices without a CDC Union descriptor by hardwiring
the driver to use interfaces 0 and 1, which is correct for the
devices with the bogus descriptor as well. So we can reuse the
existing workaround.

Something like this, then?

This has only been build tested by me as I don't have any of the affected
devices.  It would be great if any of the reporters could verify that it
solves the problem.  I can provide prebuilt modules for Debian 3.2 based
kernels to simplify the testing (just rmmod and insmod - no need to build
or boot).  Send me an email if you want the module.

Sorry for the long delay in following up this.  I totally forgot about it.
