I tried to edit my post to add some details but I cannot find the "Edit" button.
I tried using some options with no avail as it still asks for password:

Code:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/kindle_ed25519 -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no root@192.168.2.2

Again, I can login via telnet and ssh with password easily so device is setup properly.
Also key was copied with:

Code:

scp ~/.ssh/kindle_ed25519.pub root@192.168.2.2:/mnt/us/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys

And it looks like this:

Code:

[root@kindle root]# cat /mnt/us/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys 
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAINSboVb+JERT6orFdr3mo8frs6sIhdSlrhMhZHB/nYbi will@PC

and permissions look right:

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           89 Jun 11 09:02 authorized_keys

I'm using Linux so no windows invisible marks are the issue when I tried to set authorized_keys by hand and usually I just copy the file like above so there is no interference.
