@kakapo: I have the same problem. I was wondering if the problem is on the host computer side, because the connection still shows in ifconfig, but reverts to the default values for IPv4 and HWaddr.

I keep multiple kindles connected so I can test my code on different models. I have had to reassign their IPv4 and HWaddr so many times I decided to write the 'mntusb' script mentioned earlier (and posted in the "Hacks / Mods" sticky forum).

One possible clue -- some kindles disconnect more frequently than others. Perhaps there is a problem with the periodic "Plug&Play" usb device polling messing up the usbnet connection...
