Aye, I wondered that ... I had tried adding an extra rule for it in iptables, but without luck.

I'm looking at that line now ... it seems to be talking about going back to USB MS. Is that the portion of script you mean, or do you have a slightly different version? Do you mean the iptables line under the comment "Allow SSH via Wifi"? I'm thinking I should add an extra entry for telnet too?

That sounds ideal for me. I know it sounds lazy (particularly as I used to be a Linux Sysadmin) but I'm not all that concerned about secure access to a Kindle on my own home LAN.
