The relevant part here is the kernel version number, which in this case is 3.0.35.

To check whether your USB hub is being detected, try these steps whilst connected to your Kindle over SSH:
  1. Unplug the USB hub
  1. Type dmesg | tail at the prompt
  1. Plug the hub back into the Kindle
  1. Type dmesg | tail at the prompt once again
The output should change after you run the command for the second time, possibly with messages relating to USB device detection. Post the output here and we can help you further.

Hi katadelos.
Thanks once again for all your help,

I was able to SSH into my Kindle and able to get the kernel version, below is what came out. I can see the kernel is a lower one.

Would that mean that likely KindleLazy won't work on this PW1 without some considerable work? That's because I believe I messed something up when trying to set authorized_keys to be able to SSH via WiFi (to test if it's detecting the USB hub) and now I can't SSH even via USB. At least I was able to get the kernel version, and if the answer for the question is positive, I won't bother with SSHing.

Thanks!
