I, for one, and really surprised this thread hasn't received a lot more action. I am eager to get rid of my ads and I was wondering if you could give me a little bit of assistance connecting to my Kindle 3/3G SO with PuTTY.

I created the SSH-2 key, put it in authorized keys within the usbnetwork directory in /etc. Authorized keys is a file, not a text file (I deleted the file extension). I created a private putty key with a passphrase (not sure if I need passphrase). I enabled ~usbNetwork after ;debugOn and then turned -debugOff. I tried to connect and it wouldn't work. It just occurred to me that I can check the connection guide you posted to help with puTTY connection problems. I'll go try that.
