From usbnet readme:

I'm gonna assume Linux/BSD/OS X here, Windows people, you're on your own.
I managed to connect to the kindle from Windows 8 and 7 too. It wasn't hard at all.
Using mainly info taken here:

and here:

The steps needed to configure a connection to the kindle from windows through usbnet resorts to this (Win 7+ only: for Windows Vista and lower it still is possible but you will need a non default driver as advised in the readme):
  1. Enable usbnet on the Kindle
  2. Plug the Kindle into the usb port of your pc. If this is the first time some driver search will occur and the Kindle will be recognized as some NDIS gadget
  3. Go to the Device Manager in Windows
  4. Look for the unrecognized device from the list. It's the one with the yellow exlamation mark. That's your kindle
  5. Right click it and choose "Let me pick from a list..."
  6. Choose Network Adapter
  7. Choose Microsoft Corporation
  8. Choose Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
  9. Confirm all the way until the driver is installed
  10. Goto "Network Connections" via Network Places or the Control Panel
  11. Right-click on the new network, which probably be named Local Area Connection 2
  12. Select Properties
  13. Double click on Internet Protocol version 4(TCP/IP)
  14. Set your IP address to your liking (but in the same subnet of the Kindle, eg. considering default setup you could choose 192.168.15.201). Do not choose Kindle's own address
  15. Subnet mask: as appropriate, most likely 255.255.255.0 if you are in usbnet default configuration
  16. Default Gateway: put Kindle's address here (default 192.168.15.244)
  17. Set DNS to your anything you like
  18. Click Advanced
  19. Un-check Automatic metric, put 60 in its place. This will keep Windows from attempting to route all network traffic to the Kindle (you will tell because every connection to the internet e.g. IE would seem to fail)
  20. Click OK

You're done. At this point you should be able to connect to the Kindle using your preferred ssh client.
I use putty. If you do, and you have generated an ssh key to be used with your Kindle on a Linux box (see this post for an how-to: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...27&postcount=4) you can easily convert it to be accepted by putty using puttygen: see here for instructions: http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/07/...ed-by-openssh/

As a result you will be able to connect to the Kindle from Windows without the need to enter username and password.
