Heiner: yes, but there is no installer, so you have to install it manually over script.

Kite USB network modification

Hi,

Sometimes when I run USBnetwork I want to know which mode it switched to. This is because for some reason on my Kindle a kite script will be run automatically (I think it may the the last one that I ran beacause maybe Kindle refreshes or reoopen the last "book").

Anyway, I modified the USB network script to do the following - display which mode it is going to (using eips).

Please see the below:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
kitersrc=/mnt/base-us/kite/.rsrc
kiteconfig=/mnt/base-us/kite/config
usbipv4=`head -1 $kiteconfig/usbipv4`
if lsmod|grep -q g_ether; then
	eips 10 11 "**** To Storage Mode ****"
	pkill xinetd
	rmmod g_ether
	modprobe g_file_storage
else
	eips 10 11 "**** To Ethernet Mode ****"
	rmmod g_file_storage
	modprobe g_ether
	ifconfig usb0 $usbipv4
	mount /mnt/base-us -o remount,exec
	$kitersrc/sbin/xinetd
fi
Thanks,
James

I'm still holding onto mine. I bought another one and loaded Wubi on my computer and I'm learning that. There should to be a way to load the Kindle system file on to the K3 without the $24+ cable.

That great Wiki is all about the Kindle Touch and nothing on the K3? Is it just easier to unbrick the Touch?
The kindle will repopulate the USB drive if it reformats it. That will happen if it fails to mount during startup. You can cause that by erasing its partition. Or it would be a lot safer to just repopulate the missing system files yourself from the /opt directory. Examine the startup scripts to see how the system does it...
