Question K4NT need SSH help with USBNetwork

Hello,

I have a black K4NT and have successfully jailbroken it and installed USBNetwork version 0.57. I am however having issues logging into it over SSH, so I would be thankful if anyone can give me a pointer.

This is what my current procedure is:

0. Put my ssh pubkey into usbnet/etc/authorized_keys"
1.
Code:
;debugOn
2.
Code:
~usbNetwork
3. Connect to my laptop (running Debian), it shows up as something longer but let's call it "usb0"
4. Set the Kindle's IP address to the recommended 192.168.15.244
Code:
 sudo ip addr add 192.168.15.244 dev usb0
Now if I run "ssh root@192.168.15.244" I get prompted for the password. It does not seem to care that I put my key to the "authorized_keys" in the recommended location, it also does not care about any of the default passwords and the others that correspond with my serial number, it simply always asks for a password and never actually allows me in.

Do you have any clues for what I am missing or how I could set the root password without already having SSH access?

Thanks a ton in advance!
