I'm basically fine with this, but I'll hold off any ack until the
issue with the preceding patch (6/8) is resolved.  That would boil
down to making this a standalone module, or knowing why that's not
such a good idea.

I'd prefer to see the usbnet core extension packaged separately
instead of buried in this patch.  :)

And I think a MAINTAINERS update for rndis_wext would be appropriate.
No way can I take care of that code!

(In fact, would you feel comfortable taking over rndis_host too?)
