Do I HAVE TO do this? Or can I skip it?
I dont really understand much of what's written in the Wiki here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...USB_Networking
Yes, you MUST verify you can connect with USBNetwork. Well, you don't have to but you will feel silly if you waste time on the later steps and then realize it doesn't help because you cannot USBNetwork into the Kindle.

and it's a very long Wiki post. Which part of it should I focus on, in case I need to do what's written there?

Just that one header section. When you get to "Automatically enabling USB network at boot" you know you've gone further than needed.

Problem is, it doesn't describe the Mac OSX process, and I am not sure where instructions for that might be, so...
