@knc1:Yup, all 2.5.6 (501108064).

@idoit: I select MyTS from KUAL, select Start Term 1 (or 2 or 3 - it doesn’t seem to matter), and get dumped out of KUAL. I have myts-8.zip, update_launchpad_0.0.1d_k2i_install, Update_mkk-20141129-k2i-B003_install.bin

@NiLuJe:
Using verbose mode in KUAL was a good lead.

When I turn on verbose in KUAL, I get this:

missing custom mac config
broken custom mac nic

and the status says USBNetwork: enabled (usbnet, sshd down?)

which is interesting, because in usbnet/etc on the kindle that works, there are two files that don’t seem to be on the one that doesn’t: custom_mac and TURN_ON_NETWORKING_COMMAND. They both have what looks like MAC addresses based on the serial number. Anyway, I copied those files to the broken Kindle, fixed up the numbers to look like the serial number on it, and tried again.

Partial success! It connects in usbnetwork mode, I can ping it, I can telnet in, but ssh still doesn’t seem to be running. ps aux | grep ssh yielding no results confirms it.

So the next questions are: when are those files supposed to be created, and why didn’t they get created? Is there anything else that’s missing? Should I really care about ssh when I can get in with telnet anyway, and the Kindle is only accessible from my mac? I’m just trying to make sure that things are working the way they’re supposed to.
