Even though I was also setting the Kindle's IP address in USBNetwork's config file, I was doubling or tripling up on things to be sure that if I were to overwrite something, it'd overwrite with the same information.

With USBNetwork binary installed properly, with the public key on the Kindle, with a private key locally, with the IP address doubly-set to one of my choosing (192.168.1.114)

Now that will cause you problems.
Each interface needs to have its own, unique on the network, IP address.

Unless the configuration is changed elsewhere, the Kindle will default to using DHCP for the WiFi interface.
The default for the USB network interface is to be set manually.

Dumb question follows:
Since one of the purposes of pubkey authentication is "password free" authentication, why in the world do you add a passphrase to the private key?
All you've done is replace one passphrase entry point for another.
The private key is on your PC - use the features of your PC's operating system to secure it rather than adding a passphrase.
