@donB006: But thanks for the suggestion. If you can think of anything I *haven't* tried, please tell me and I would be more than happy to give it a try. And I will try what you did too, just for fun, but with no expectation for success...

Wow, that is a tough circumstance. I can't imagine not having the usbnet working. Looking at the file listing I see the Kindle1 only has the usbserial.ko kernel module. I wonder if that is only for the wan. I sure wouldn't want to work on a hardwired serial console for free. For that reason, I can't think of any way to improve the Kindle1 at all. I wouldn't even try my technique without the usbnet.
New idea just now: I did see the Amazon update file version 30? has the full rootfs.img available. You could edit that file when loop mounted and then reflash the entire OS all at once. No more hope at this time. Sorry.
