Remote NDIS (RNDIS) eliminates the need for hardware vendors to write an NDIS miniport device driver for a network device attached to the USB bus. Remote NDIS accomplishes this by defining a bus-independent message set and a description of how this message set operates over the USB bus. Because this Remote NDIS interface is standardized, one set of host drivers can support any number of networking devices attached to the USB bus. This significantly reduces the development burden on device manufacturers, improves the overall stability of the system because no new drivers are required, and improves the end-user experience because there are no drivers to install to support a new USB bus-connected network device. Currently Microsoft Windows provides support for Remote NDIS over USB.
The following figure shows the replacement of the device manufacturer's NDIS miniport with the combination of a Remote NDIS miniport driver and a USB transport driver. The device manufacturer can therefore concentrate on device implementation and not have to develop a Windows NDIS device driver.
Microsoft provides an NDIS miniport driver, Rndismp.sys, which implements the Remote NDIS message set and communicates with generic bus transport drivers, which in turn communicate with the appropriate bus driver. This NDIS miniport driver is implemented and maintained by Microsoft and is distributed as part of Windows.

I have a RNDIS usb device connected to my laptop (that works fine on my PC) and it's showing as a COM serial port instead. Device is a Raspberry Pi Zero W with the generic usb Ethernet setup (dwc2, g_ethernet). Jun 26, 2018 RNDIS usb device showing as COM serial port, but only on my (probably outdated) laptop (both windows 10) Device is a Raspberry Pi Zero W with the generic usb Ethernet setup (dwc2, g_ethernet). It shows as a RNDIS Ethernet device on my main PC and works fine, but not on my laptop. Anyone know how I can fix this? (Attempting to connect to it like it's actually a serial device fails, as.
The following Remote NDIS message set mirrors the semantics of the NDIS miniport driver interface:
The Driver Update Tool – is a utility that contains more than 27 million official drivers for all hardware, including rndis driver. This utility was recognized by many users all over the world as a modern, convenient alternative to manual updating of the drivers and also received a high rating from known computer publications. Apr 13, 2016 I have an RNDIS over USB device that works on some Windows 10 devices and not others. It always works under Windows 7. Windows 10 ( installed as an update to windows 7) in a virtual machine ( VMWare Workstation with Windows 7 host) works with this device fine.
- They are aware of the problems of RNDIS USB network adapters in Windows 10. They are hoping to resolve the problem, Microsoft said. I’ll update you once I have an answer to the issue. I can make Windows to automatically auto-install RNDIS driver once device is connected to Windows host. Not sure if MOD wants this feature.
- The USB RNDIS driver provides the necessary support files for communicating to a PanelView Component terminal over USB. After installation, the driver creates a network connection to the device, allowing it to be connected to via a web browser. This driver must be installed to communicate to 2' and 3' terminals.

Microsoft also provides a USB bus transport driver that implements a mechanism for carrying the Remote NDIS messages across the USB bus. This driver transports standardized Remote NDIS messages between the Remote NDIS miniport driver and the bus-specific driver, such as USB. The bus-specific drivers are also required to map any bus-specific requirements, such as power management, into standardized Remote NDIS messages. The transport driver for USB 1.1 and 2.0 is implemented and maintained by Microsoft and distributed as part of Windows.
This structure allows a single device driver to be used for any Remote NDIS device for which there is a bus-specific transport layer. In addition, only one bus transport layer is required for all network devices on a specific bus.
