Do you mean the WiFi setting? Awesome. Then I don't need step c) and d). Just a) and b).

Why wouldn't it then accept usbnetwork update? I do not exclude the possibility that I have copied it there myself for some reason (perhaps in hope that this will install the jailbreak).

I guess then I have to try one of the two. If I use the wrong version - what will happen? Will it brick the device? How will I know that it's bricked? Can I somehow update my Kindle via some official way to 3.3 and then use the latest jailbreak?

I can't see it's grayed out, but the selection jumps over it and voice guide doesn't read it. Like I said it's only active on the following updates:
  • update_jailbreak_0.11.N_k3w_install.bin
  • update_jailbreak_0.11.N_k3w_uninstall.bin
  • update_jailbreak_0.11.N_k3w-3.0-to-3.2_install.bin

P.S. It seems I've just used the wrong usbnetwork update. I've tried the one with k3w suffix and it has enabled the "update" option in the menu. Now I've installed it. I guess now I need to get Linux machine somewhere and test it. Thanks anyway.
