The kindle IP address is set elsewhere, probably as a step in installing USBnet on the kindle.
Thanks for the reply! Could you possibly tell me how and where to set these IPs exactly? With "ip link" I see a bunch of network devices, namely "lo", "enp0s31f6" (my LAN port), "wlp3s0" (Wifi), "virbr0", "virbr0-nic" and finally the Kindle, which is "enxee4900000000".

Which IP address do I assign to which of these network devices, and how? I have tried everything I could come up with but the Kindle always asks for a root password.

Also, do you have a clue why the Kindle asks for a root password even though I installed my keys to authorized_keys and I have wifi disabled?

PS: the "ifconfig" command is not available on my distribution, I believe it has been fully replaced by "ip", so sadly I can't just copy the commands given in various other threads and the manual.
