Kindle Usbnetworking

[buscon]

Hi all,

i've just installed jailbreak on my kindle touch and i'm trying to get ssh access.
So i've installed usbnetworking, i've activated the network (;un) but i still cannot reach my kindle: no ping on the wifi ip.
I cannot connect through usb as I'm on osx.

Is there a list of commands of usbnetworking in order to see if it's up and running ?

To use wifi SSH, you need to add a line to your iptables.This is from the K4 hacking wiki, but it applies to all eink kindles:

add a firewall rule to allow ssh access. Edit the /mnt/base-mmc/etc/sysconfig/iptables file:
vi /mnt/base-mmc/etc/sysconfig/iptables

and add the following line to that file:
-A INPUT -i wlan0 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

For USB networking, the host PC side of your USB network device (RNDIS) needs a manually assigned IP address of 192.168.15.201.

OSX can SSH through USB just fine.

Nope. 192.168.15.x for the K5, where 1 <= x <= 254 && x != 244

Your manually assigned 192.168.15.1 (shown in your screenshot) will work okay for most things, but some diagnostics require the host PC to use 192.168.15.201.

Oops. I see from your newer post that I had a typo in my previous post (fixed now). I changed the 69 to 15. It is still a good idea for the last octet to be 201 though...

Thanks!

I'm root in my kindle
