Following the Tutorial Open Sesame! (AKA., The New & Improved JailBreak Index) Using 7-zip on a Win PC to extract the files, I prepared a Paperwhite 2 (6th gen) using the WatchThis jailbreak. I applied the hotfix JailBreak-1.16.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip , MR Package Installer kual-mrinstaller-1.7.N-r19303.tar.xz , and then KUAL.

At this point I attempted to load USBNetwork kindle-usbnet-0.22.N-r19297.tar.xz using the 'Install MR Packages' helper and although I briefly saw the name of the package appear in the 'destroy' message, the package hasn't shown up in the KUAL menu.

On closer reading I realised I hadn't installed the coplate version of KUAL so applied the uninstall and then installed from KUAL-f190a38-20240104.tar.xz (my only mis-step AFAIK). This left me with two KUALs in the Library so I deleted the defunct one. But this has made no difference - further attempts to install the USBNetwork package still results in no-show.

I have since loaded other packages OK - e.g. Kterm so it seems strange to not get USBNetwork loaded. Any tips here folks?
