Hi all.

First of all I want to thank all the useful contributors for their work so far. However, I still have been unable to get (the relatively old) programs to work.

I'm using a Kindle 4 and am working from Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5.

I'm basically following this link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...ic.php?t=62139

What I've done so far:

* Jailbroke my kindle

* Installed KUAL

* Installed USBnetwork (although I am unsure how to use it)

* Installed KindleVCN viewer

Everything worked fine so far up to this point, but when I try to continue the steps I get the following error

Code:

$ sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.15.2
Password: 
ifconfig: interface usb0 does not exist

It seems like the kindle doesn't get recognized? I found this little CLI command to show my USB devices and I don't see the kindle anywhere.

Code:

$ ioreg -p IOUSB -w0 | sed 's/[^o]*o //; s/@.*$//' | grep -v '^Root.*'
