@knc1: Thanks for the link. I am able to understand what you're doing most of the time but just reading it doesn't help me *really* understand everything. I guess I'd need some practice to feel somewhat confident in that field. Not played around with network configurations much yet.

However this link didn't really answer my question(s) (at least for me).
I'm getting kind of confused.

So when I'm following the steps 1) to 6) from my previous post at which point excactly should I have to do all this console stuff? Should I not only do "ifconfig usb0 192.168.15.201 && ssh root@192.168.15.244" (according to https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...USB_Networking )
to test the connection?

As I understand it: If I brick my device, USBNetworking is still possible and gives me extensive access to my device and I'll likely be able to recover it. Is that right?


@NiLuJe:
So you're saying it is not as dangerous to brick my PW2 anymore? When I do, there is still a backup even if I didn't make one by myself? So I'll just need to make sure that USBNetworking is working and then I'll be fine (most likely)?



Sorry guys I may be a slow lerner sometimes and when I do something like this I want to be sure of it. As I usally go by "try and error" to figure out things when programming, I'd not like "try and brick and buy a new kindle" here
That's why I'd like to read something like "Your steps 1) to 6) seem fine, that's the way to do it" or "Don't do it that way: (reason)"

PS: I'm not about to go playing around with the system inside, just install some of the hacks like MKK, KUAL, etc.
