@kakapo: My usbnet connections do that too after about 30 seconds, and sometimes again after 5 or 10 minutes.

I think it is mentioned elsewhere in this forum (or in a hack readme file) that there are a couple of background daemon processes that need to be killed in the kindle to stop these usbnet disconnects.

For now, I keep a second window open and run my 'mntusb' script to resume the usbnet connections for all of my usb-attached kindles. That script can be downloaded here:

Can anybody list which processes should be killed to prevent this? They should probably be killed in the usbnet startup script...

@NiLuge: You beat me! I was composing my answer before yours arrived. For some reason, my DXG is *extrememly* slow connecting with SSH, but instant with telnet, so when I am in a hurry I just telnet in...
