Hi, Bill,

Unfortunately I've not been able to get it working yet. dhclient
didn't output anything.  The netstat -r output:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
192.168.50.0    *               255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0
wlan2
default         192.168.50.1    0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0
wlan2

Here's the result of dmesg | grep wlan:

wlan0: register 'rndis_wlan' at usb-0000:00:03.3-1, Wireless RNDIS device,
BCM4320b based, 00:1e:e5:a6:98:ee
usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_wlan
udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to wlan2
rndis_wlan 1-1:1.0: rndis media disconnect
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan2: link is not ready
rndis_wlan 1-1:1.0: rndis media connect
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan2: link becomes ready
wlan2: no IPv6 routers present
rndis_wlan 1-1:1.0: rndis media disconnect
rndis_wlan 1-1:1.0: rndis media connect
rndis_wlan 1-1:1.0: rndis media disconnect
rndis_wlan 1-1:1.0: rndis media connect
