It's on page 21 of the HFA3842B datasheet, June 2001, File Number 8020
version. I also found on page 23: "Complete details on the USB firmware
for controlling this port can be obtained by contacting the factory directly."

Could be that I'm looking at the wrong datasheet, mind you.

RNDIS seems to define the way data is exchanged, but not the format
or meaning of the data itself, so it needs its own driver anyway. At least
that's my impression. It's a bit vague, but I didn't read the specification.
