From the quote in the top post:
load the evdev kernel module on both machines
On the router:
$ cat /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd | nc <IP> 4444
On the Kindle:
$ nc -l -p 4444 > /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd
That was my plan. I did find an HID 2.4 module for my Openwrt router - loaded and inserted - didn't work for me. I could have spent more effort on it by rebuilding the whole deal but I lacked the interest in spending a lot of effort on this as I don't really need it, I was just playing and thought it would be kinda cool.
Thanks for the replies - I went on to make the router a streaming radio player with a USB audio card... maybe I'll check out some bluetooth stuff or SIP...
Speaking of - twobob was working on a SIP player for the Kindle a while back, I should check out that old project...
