Windows 10 anniversary update broke Ethernet over USB

[Erik Welsh]

  FYI.  My computers just went thru the Window 10 anniversary update.  This broke the Ethernet over USB functionality for BBB (along w/ a number of other things).  When I went to re-install the BONE_D64.exe file from http://beagleboard.org/getting-started, the install failed even when run as administrator.

  I was able to get it working by manually updating the driver software:

1) In "Device Manager" --> "Network Adapters" --> "Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget", right click and "Update Driver Software ...".

2) Select "Browse my computer for driver software"

3) Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

4) Wait for list to be retrieved.  

5) Select Manufacturer:  "Microsoft",   Model:  "Remote NDIS Compatible Device"

You will get a warning but you can let the driver update install.  Cloud 9 and all the other Ethernet over USB stuff should then work.

For me it showed up under other devices as RNDIS. I had to select network adapters from the list after step 3 before proceeding to step 4 as well.

Overall worked great, thanks!
