1. mntroot rw
2. vi /etc/resolv.d/resolv.conf.default
3. add the line: nameserver <your DNS IP>
I have a Kindle DX. I setup usbnetworking as outlined in this thread and then did the above. I can telnet to the Kindle, and from the Kindle, I can ping Google.

I'm in the US, but I have poor wireless coverage where I live. It works sometimes, but I often have zero or one bar for wireless. So I'd like to be able to sync with USB if it works consistently.

After setting this up, am I supposed to turn off wireless? If I do, and try to sync or access the store, Kindle asks if I want to turn on wireless. If I turn it on, I can access the Kindle store. I think it's working over USB because the store seems much faster.

Syncing has not worked. It fails with a message that it can't connect. I undid the USE_WAN changes and I can sync wireless again. Does this work for syncing in the US with a Kindle DX?
