@Galunid and @NiLuJe, thank you both. That is how I set up the USBNetwork hack years ago. I began using SSH over WiFi, and don't remember using Ethernet over USB ever since. Humans are prone to forget, and I feel like an ignoramus.
I have just read once more the README files of RescuePack, CowardsRescuePack, and the README_FIRST file of the USBNetwork. According to the README file of the RescuePack, IP Address and Subnet Mask of the host are 192.168.15.201 and 255.255.255.0, and Kindle's IP Address is 192.168.15.244.
However, Ethernet over USB doesn't work with these settings. I have checked the System Information to confirm that the device is available under USB Device Tree.
AD: /usbnet/etc/config file has an SSHD ONLY option that prevents switching to Ethernet over USB.
Code:
# Don't switch to Ethernet over USB, and only launch SSHD
# NOTE: Make sure you're able to properly login over SSH before enabling this...
# It's obviously only useful with WiFi devices, so leave to false on non-WiFi devices
K3_WIFI_SSHD_ONLY="false"
If it is set to "true", will that disable Ethernet over USB in diags mode? (No clue whether I did that change.)
