You can check the result with:
lsusb | grep RNDIS
This should show something like:
Bus 008 Device 002: ID 0525:a4a2 Netchip Technology, Inc. Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget
Now you should be able to ping your kindle with:
ping 192.168.2.2
and ...
telnet 192.168.2.2 now gives me...
Trying 192.168.2.2...
Connected to 192.168.2.2.

Welcome to Kindle!

 disi!  Your steps and my knowledge on Ubuntu got me into my kindle *O* |
Sounds really good. I have dualboot and tried to connect the kindle on my Gentoo installation, but gave up after a while :/
Seems Ubuntu has some quirks to automatically configure the usb port
(I do not use hald, I guess that's the main problem with Gentoo)
