Thank you for answering NiLuJe.
It did prompt me for a password, but it didn't accept any password I used (empty string, standard passwords like "root", "admin", "pass", etc.).
Regarding the paths, the readme refers to
usbnet/etc/config and
usbnet/etc/authorized_keys, so I assumed these files are included in the USBNetwork's
.bin file.
- Are these meant to be files on the Kindle filesystem?
- Are these files accessible through the standard mass storage USB interface? I thought that it could be just usbnet directly in the root of the USB storage, but I wasn't sure.
- Can I access Kindle's root filesystem without a shell?

That's odd, because did not enable WiFi on my device. I always kept it off (flight mode), just to prevent unwanted connection to Amazon servers.
