A much better (greater detail) HowTo:

Getting the Kindles to provide a "network share" over either USBnet or Wifi is a big step towards getting rid of the FAT-32 formatted user storage area.

To this end I have dug through the lists to see what is just 'on offer'.
There is an ssh based filesystem app that I will attempt to x-compile now and see what that is all about.

For what it's worth I have created a CIFS samba before IIRC you just have to create an authentication section and weld that into the request, or create it on the fly. The server config was all config files IIRC. I'll have a look.

Anyways I'll have a look when I've done nursing this build through. I'm testing a Glib2 dependent inclusion at the moment see how my mileage is today

EDIT: Whoops: libglib2 2.30.2 Building

  CCLD   libglib-2.0.la
  CCLD   gtester
./.libs/libglib-2.0.so: undefined reference to `qsort_r'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

oh well. ofono will have wait ; )

back to the xconfig for me. back later.

EDIT:
Gah!

FUSE filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol.

Selects: BR2_PACKAGE_LIBFUSE [=y] && BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGLIB2 [=y] && BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT [=n] && BR2_PACKAGE_LIBINTL [=n] && BR2_PACKAGE_LIBICONV [=n] && BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSH [=y]

Oh well. That will have to wait too...
