Hello again Wizards,

I've just about got a KindleBerry Pi setup between by raspi4 (raspbian 10) and my KT (5.3.7.3). Just about everything works, I just have to automate ssh keys on the kindle.

One issue I've had so far is that USBNetworking must not be set up 100%, but in my searching I haven't been able to find a reference to my issue: I am able to ssh into my raspi from my kindle over wifi, but not over USB.

Testing with ifconfig on my pc, I don't see an entry for the kindle when I plug it in. The light that indicates that the kindle is attached does light up, but each entry for ifconfig is present whether or not the kindle is plugged in.

A similar issue presents itself when I try USBN directly between the pi and the kindle: running ifconfig in kterm returns the same entries whether or not the kindle and pi are physically connected.

What painfully stupid thing am I missing w/r/t USBNetworking setup?
