Everytime it says:
usbnetwork v0.07, Thu Jan 1 00:54:48 UTC 1970
symbolic link /etc/rcS.d/S72usbnet exists, deleting...
Done!

So the symbolic link remains.

Is there a way to remove this link manually. (While everything else got deleted by the uninstaller?)

Otherwise I won't be able to update to 2.3
Still having that link won't prevent you to update to 2.3 ; in fact you could update to 2.3 with the usbnetwork hack still installed. The usbnetwork stuff only adds files; it doesn't modify any existing file.

If you want to remove the link manually; telnet or ssh to your kindle and do:
rm -f /etc/rcS.d/S72usbnet (which is what the uninstaller does)

Edit: You're right ; there's a bug, the symbolic link is never deleted ... Will update right away...
Here it is:
http://www.avenard.org/kindle2/usbnetwork23-0.9.tar.gz

Will properly delete the symbolic link (not that it mattered much anyway)

Edit: 0.9 is only for Kindle firmware 2.3.
Use 0.7 if using an earlier version
