so,

what do i have to do to get

back?

so i can then try the auth key route.
(which i'm not entirely clear on, being on os x.)
(ultimately, i'm trying to be able to sftp in via transmit whenever i like.)

been searching the forums here a bunch.

am i hosed?

thanks in advance, friendly people—

Unless I'm totally mistaken, it *should* be enough to reinstall the official Amazon update, which will remove usbnet from the main partition. After the reboot, you should be back in USB drive mode, so you can edit your usbnet configuration before you reinstall usbnet.

PS: Or maybe a factory reset works as well. (Just be aware that it removes the jailbreak bridge).
