Developer’s Description

Driver that allows tethering via Android devices attached by USB.
HoRNDIS (pronounce: "horrendous") is a driver for Mac OS X that allows you to use your Android phone's native USB tethering mode to get Internet access. It is known to work with Mac OS X versions 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) through 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion), and has been tested mostly on Galaxy Nexuses running Jelly Bean. Although you should be careful with all drivers that you install on your computer, HoRNDIS has been tested at least well enough for the author (and some of his friends) to run full time on their own personal computers.
