Okay, so the best info I can find on `usbQa is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20111106...ur-kindle.html about the kindle 2, via https://web.archive.org/web/20111123...-kindle-2.html

Based on that, on the kindle 2 in 2009, you needed to:

;debugOn
`usbNetwork
`usbQa
THEN connect the USB cable

But when I do that with the current jailbreak / usbnetwork hack on the dx, it went straight into USB drive mode.

So it occured to me that I could try the DISABLED_auto to auto rename. I did this and now on connection the device directly connects, but still no joy.

With the EDGE/3G ppp0 connected, I see the following routing, which may be interesting.

Code:

[root@kindle /bin]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.64.64.64     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.2.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 usb0
0.0.0.0         192.168.2.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 usb0

That single route to 10.64.64.64 as a private IP has me curious, I must say.
