Safely reversing some changes K4NT

I was wondering if someone could advise me. I decided to jailbreak my K4NT last night and all went well, I then booted into DIAGS mode enabled SSH etc. I then wanted SSH over wifi, so I used this guide:

http://blog.joschika.tk/2012/03/01/k...ssh-over-wifi/

I then went to SFTP and I realised it wasn't working and a little further research I discovered I should probably have installed USBNetworking. Now the problem is reversing what I've done so I can install USBNetworking. I could just rm the things I have cp into the relevant directories and removing the entries in the config directories. But in my haste last night I didn't bother to check what was in the directories being copied to, so I'm not sure what to delete or indeed if the original cp commands have overwritten anything already.

Bloody stupid of me I know. Just wondering if anyone can suggest how to reverse this, or indeed if I even need to, basically I just want to get to the point where I can SFTP to my kindle over wifi.

Thank you for any help!

Just start over.
Use Kubrick on it, that will re-install the factory firmware + jailbreak and a few other files.
On a K4 - Kubrick takes about 10 minutes.

PS: Don't modify the contents of the Amazon file system unless you absolutely must.
Stick with the things we package here, which includes "un-install" scripts.

For instance:
Install KUAL -
Install the KUAL Firewall -
Add the new iptables rule **to the KUAL Firewall ruleset** in the appropriate chain -

Now you can switch between the Amazon ruleset and your ruleset with launcher buttons - and never have touched the Amazon system image files.

Thanks, yeah I'd a feeling it might be the best option.
