How to load rndis_host module on usb plug-in

Yes, copy file /usr/lib/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf and edit it such that it reads:

# RNDIS is considered insecure (bsc#1205767, jsc#PED-5731)
blacklist rndis_wlan
blacklist usb_f_rndis
# blacklist rndis_host

A step by step may be the following. Open a terminal and issue:

su -
<root password>
cp /usr/lib/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
nano /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf 

or you can use another editor if you don’t like nano.
