KUAL Kindlet to Show IP Address

[krcrouse]

Hey folks,

I don't know about you, but whenever I'm doing detailed work on my Kindle (PW2), I use log in remotely through wifi from my laptop terminal. My home router regularly reallocates the IP Addresses (and there's no way to reserve them on Belkins), and so I wrote a tiny Kindlet to display the IP Address on the Kindle for 5 seconds so I could ssh in.

In case this might be useful to others, here's everything I think you need. I only known that this works on the PW2. It connects to the built in EIPS module for screen output and uses the Python that you can find here; https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=195474. If you're on another Kindle that doesn't have that, sorry. It won't work.

1. a. Your Kindle is jailbroken and you use KUAL. If it's not or you don't, fin.
1. b. You have Python installed.
2. copy the attached *.tar.gz to /us/mnt/extensions
3. Untar it : tar -xvzf kindle-ipaddr.tar.gz
* as with any good tar file, this will untar to a subdirectory
4. delete the tar.gz file : rm kindle-ipaddr.tar.gz

Should be all set. Re-run KUAL. The "Show IP Address" should be a menu item. It should show your IP addresses for 5 seconds. The address that is like 192.168.15.* is the USB address. Any other address is your wifi address in case you want to use it for your USB Network.
