Reinstalling it the usual way doesn't seem to work (even with the hold-down-the-power-button trick). I also tried to unpack the .bin file and run install.sh off /mnt/us/, but even though the script exited with status 0 it still didn't install dropbear etc.
Can I get usbnet back (without downgrading)?

You lost not only usbnet, but all the hacks you have installed so far, as always with the most recent firmwares. You didn't loose kual and kterm because these are not hack, but an active content and one of its extensions, respectively.
You can have it back by reinstalling, but since fw 5.6.1 the only way to install hacks on kindle is to use MR Plugin Installer, a KUAL extension that will let you install plugins in a new (and more convenient) fashion. That's the only way to have usbnet back.
