Is this still valid. I'm not interested in picking up the request and so on, if i can overcome the problem with creating the file: WIFI_NO_NET_PROBE.

Is it still possible to do without rooting the kindle?
Yes, I just now did it on my PW-3.

You **WILL** have to jail break the Kindle to install the sshd server (from the USBnetworking package).
Part of the jail break is to allow executable programs on the USB mass storage.
