Excellent! Thank you katadelos, it worked this time.

I now have USBNetwork on Kual. When I touch this button, I get many options. I selected "Toggle USBNetwork" with my Kindle plugged to my PC via USB. However, the Kindle still doesn't appear as a "Serial USB Device (COM3)" in my Device Manager.

When I touch the button "**USBNetwork Status**", I get the message: "N * USBNetwork: disabled (usbms, ssh d down) *"

What do I need to do now? Thanks again.

Update: I played around with toggling the USB Network with the USB cord unconnected, then connected it again. Now when I touch "USBNetwork Status" I get the message: "N * USBNetwork: enabled (usbnet, ssh d up) *", but I still don't see anything in my Device Manager (or in my Network and Sharing Center)

Update 2: Now in my Device Manager when I click "Ports (COM & LPT)" I see "USB Serial Device (COM4)". Is this the Kindle? And if so, should I now download and install the driver as described in the 【TL;DR】section of mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3283986 ?

Update 3: I installed the driver, then in Device Manager, expanded "Ports (COM & LPT)", right clicked "USB Serial Device (COM4)", then selected, Update Driver Software...
I browsed to the folder with the driver software I downloaded, but got the message "The best driver software for your device is already installed".

If this step is done correctly, according to the instructions, "You should see a new network card Kindle USB RNDIS Device (USBNetwork enabled) in "Network and Sharing Center"" I don't see any such network card in my Network and Sharing Center.

I notice in the instructions, the prerequisites are:
【Prerequisites】
Jailbroken Kindle (tested on PW3 5.6.5)
KUAL, MRPI
installed mrpackage kindle-usbnet
A Windows 10 PC (x64 edition)

I have a Windows 10 PC, 32-bit.
