Hello everybody,

Just checking as I'm not exactly a linux engineer though I work on it for SAP stuff...
So, I have managed to install the usbnet plugin and I got to connect from my Fedora system "natively" (though ens192u2i1 instead of usb0 is one heck of a device name, damn them!), and also I could connect to Kindle from my Windows 11 system installing the fake signed RNDIS drivers to transform the Serial USB device (COM6) to Kindle USB RNDIS Device (USBNetwork enabled).

Sweet. Now, being it a different network interface than my ethernet one (192.168.0.*), I assigned it a different network (I let the standard one, 192.168.15.*).

I know for a fact, 'cause I've done it with my PW3 years ago, that if I enable Wi-fi networking I can assign to Kindle an ip address in my standard network and connect to it via putty, for example.

My question is... is there any way that I don't know to somehow "merge" the networks and make so that I can assign the Kindle an address like 192.168.0.244 and still connect to it via USBNetwork?

Thanks!
