I see that the rndis_wext.c Kconfig won't kick in unless the
802.11 stuff is available ... what additional dependencies
does that imply for a fatter rndis_host module?

No extra modules are currently required for just plain wext [1]. In the
future, we hope to migrate stuff to cfg80211 though, which is a separate
module.

Hmmm.  Well, go the current route then ... but come up with a good
plan to split it up later, so that connecting a typical non-wireless
RNDIS device won't incur such needless extra modules.
