The K5 usbnetwork hack also installs a KUAL extension, which contains a "Toggle USBNetwork" button. That button shows a checkmark which toggles with each press, but that only makes sense when the checkmark indicates toggle status (i.e. network enabled). However, it gets out of sync if you press it with the USB cable attached -- the button toggles the checkmark even when the network status did not change (such as USB cable attached). But if it worked as logically expected, then the "** USBNetwork Status **" button would be redundant (though still useful, whereas an out-of-sync checkmark is deceptive). Simple fix: remove the checkmark (missing being subjectively better than wrong). "Correct" fix: make it dependent on actual network status (perhaps borrowing from code the "** USBNetwork Status **" button), in which case the status button could be re-purposed to show kindle IP address (I like my kindles to have unique IP addresses, and that would aid my PuTTY SSH connection attempts).
