Why couldn’t the NDIS driver run in userspace?
What's NDIS and what do you mean to run it in userspace? I am very new to Linux and am barely considered tech savvy so this is all going over my head
I just googled what a NDIS is and with my limited knowledge I think I understood what you're saying. Are you saying that I could keep an older/custom version of NDIS running on my own user account instead of changing the entire kernel for me to be able to use USB CDC NCM to keep using USB tethering?
Yes you nailed it. No reason for kernel mode unless there are controlling lines needed that the user account is not able to change the signaling on (more rare), if it’s only data mode your user account should suffice.
