No. The 192.168.2.x addresses are the default configuration shipped with usbnetwork for the K4, which was, and remains, a poor choice IMO. It's the first thing that I correct whenever I install usbnet on a K4.

Why? Not only are the chances of clashing with an existing home network on that subnet MUCH higher than for the 192.168.15.x one, but it also results in requiring different host configurations depending on whether the Kindle is in main or in diags mode: in diags, the Kindle ALWAYS uses 192.168.15.244 - why should that be different in main?
