I keep multiple kindles plugged in to my Ubuntu box, for software testing.

How can I make a "permanent configuration" when all kindles start out with the same HWaddr, even if it is already in use by another kindle?

I think that this would be best fixed by changing usbnet to provide a DHCP address to the host. The kindle DHCP "server" only needs to serve one address (the host IP defined in /mnt/us/usbnet/etc/config).

Adding a DHCP server to usbnet may be complicated by a possible problem when running dropbear on a DHCP server: http://groups.google.com/group/linux...611eb43e53b6b2
