Would copying the file from one of my mac computers be sufficient?

EDIT: Fixed it all; can connect via WIFI now without issue. Copied the authorized_keys file over in USB mass storage mode as indicated in the README FIRST. I assumed I knew what I was doing by trying to create a .ssh folder in the root of the kindle; but that was a mistake. There's some magic that I don't pretend to understand with usbnet that makes ssh to the kindle possible.

Much easier to fiddle about with koreader this way :P

Still not sure if it's safe to leave the wifi on at boot even though that's most convenient.
