It doesn't really check for a "generic" connection but rather checks the 3G network connections and finds that this isn't established. So I guess that making it use the USB network connection is a bit harder, since it would also need intercepting/replicating the 3G network connection.
I may be a bit off track here and mix my experiences with the K3, but I'm somewhat sure.
The question is: what should the network connection be used for? If that is outside the scope of Amazon's software, then of course a "generic" connection via USB networking is just fine. Like e.g. for using software in a terminal application or similar.

Ah, this question is about using the Kindle as the client, not the connection router.
I.E:
Kindle -> Lan (via usb networking)
NOT:
Lan -> Kindle -> 3G connection
If the Kindle DX needs its 3G networking over-ridden to keep it "out of the way" - - then look at what sets up ppp0 interface (which is the 3G network connection).
(I do have a DXG - but no time to mess with this myself.)
