The dirty patch, the thing of legends. It exists in SVN here:

http://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/patches/usb-rndis-lite-samsung.patch

As you can see, i force debug on because i have no idea whether the
patch is sane or not and i want all the debug info i can get. The
reason I consider it dirty is that it needs the rndis_get_in_endpoint
function which is called every time something calls rndis_command.
Ideally that should run once when the driver loads for a given device,
but i felt like i was being too invasive when I started doing that and
whimped out.

The patch exists through careful comparison of the deprecated user
mode and the current kernel mode implementations of usb-rndis, the
poking of an INT IN endpoint being the only difference i found.

Mark, you should come in #synce more... :-)
