Hi,
I managed to install the usb network patch (kindle-2.5-usbnetwork-0.11.N.zip), found in this thread :

Enabling usb networking and telnetting into the kindle all worked fine.
When I tried to disable usb networking, and return to mass storage mode, I was unable to mount the kindle on my PC.
dmesg would show the kindle as a mass storage device, but no partitions were found.
To solve the problem I had to telnet into the kindle and delete the "auto" file in the usbnet folder. Then restart the kindle.
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong ?
Cheers, Ian
