OK, I installed the usbnetwork-0.05.tar.gz which went really well.
Except that I can follow instructions, but I have no clue what I'm doing, and - now it's installed - what I need to do to actually get the Kindle 'online'.. I was hoping "enable whispernet" would bypass the whispernet and magically connect me. no such luck

I'm in the Netherlands and would like to if possible register my KindleSX.
if that's not possible, i'd just really like to get the thing to sync the time and year (once is enough) so that sorting works. And being able to get updates (did anyone say more screensavers?) would be nice to

(I understand that the 2.3 update is included in usbnetwork23-0.9.tar.gz ?
Do I need to uninstall what I installed first??)

Thanks!
