Edit: I got it, just had to go into the network manager and manually change the address to 192.168.2.1
SOLVED
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but I'll give it a go.

I installed the usbnetworking bin through the upgrade method and it appears to have worked correctly but now I can't seem to establish a connection to the kindle through my laptop. My laptop is running ubuntu 12.04. When I connect my kindle to my laptop when it is in usbnetworking mode the laptop sees the device as Linux2.6.26-rt-lab126/fsl-usb2-udc RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget and tries to connect to it automatically. It says it's connecting and then pops up with the error "Activation of network connection failed". Then I try sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.1 but the same thing keeps happening. I haven't changed any of the settings in the usbnetwork folder in the kindle. It's a kindle 3w.

I realize this is most likely a problem with my laptop but any help would be appreciated.
