I don't understand what you would like to know about the network interface setup, instead. I've never used usbnet before, I just used the readme instruction to bind usb0 to the kindle ip. Which works, given that the kindle answers, at first.
I tried with "anything" as a password, too, yet I get the same "permission denied" problem.
@eschwarts: Yes I know ssh keys are preferable, it would have been step 2: first login and ensure I can login "normally", then I would have set keys up. Never got there unfortunately.
