Since I use Slackware it's easy.

!. Generate public & private keys on local-host

# ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): ***LEAVE EMPTY***
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
c7:6c:e7:58:b6:c7:9e:08:ca:43:55:8c:a1:71:99:3c root@darkstar

2. Copy the public key to kindle

# mount /dev/(kindle device id) /mnt
# cp /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /mnt/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys
# umount /mnt

3. ssh (kindle IP), continue connecting & your good to go....
