Restore KindleDX USB networking

[jft]

Absolutly right.

Sorry I was too lazy to create a package just for three bash scripts. My "storage" script is just the opposite of the usbnetwork script (rmmod g_ether, modprobe g_file_storage). The two other scripts - "qz.h" and "qx.h" - just call "usbnetwork" respectively "storage" and are located in the hotkey folder.

telnet 192.168.2.2

Is there any idea for why this happen?

Well, I finally registered here. I figure, if I learned so much from this forum so far, I might as well start contributing.

Anyway, I had that problem too, and with some searching here I found out that stopping the netwatchd daemon will solve that problem. You can do that by executing /etc/init.d/netwatchd stop

Hi,

even with netwatchd stop I run into any kind of timeout about 2 minutes after telnet. Connection is refused an ping stoppes to get answers.

[Update:] It was fixed by itself.

Any idea what it could be?
(DXI, Win7)

I would prefere if I could use the serial connection, but don't know the root password. So I added a new user, logging into works fine, but it would need root privileges. How to provide him?

[Update:] Oh, just setting new root password works fine too!

merci

As the firmware updated to 2.3.3, will there be any new usbnetwork packages releasing? I was doing some font replacing by "mount --bind" as I mentioned here.

And if I wanted to keep 3G access at the same time, I also ran the commands below:

/mnt/us/usbnet/bin/usbnet-disable
/etc/init.d/framework restart

But after updating to 2.3.3, it seems that I can't gain the 3G access again after doing the same things above. I'm confused. I can only enable the 3G access when I reboot the Kindle DX. And sometimes DX is frozen when I try to use "basic web" to test if I can get online.
Is there any ideas why this happened?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

Hi, there.
I do these things as said in #187 in another way now, so usbnetwork doesn't have to be activated for many times.
I write a script into init.d and make a symbol link in rcS.d so that font replacement automatically starts when Kindle boot up if there is an file called "AUTO" in /mnt/us/fonts. So everything is OK now.

to hippocratesnoah

if you failed to update your kindle dx as hippocratesnoah.
700507:004006 ota_install: C defatchatchinfo="/opt/amazon/ebook/config/framework.mario.conf":checksum failure

solution: use usbnet
edit file opt/amazon/ebook/config/framework.mario.conf
USE_WAN : false
change to
USE_WAN : true

then saved changes, reboot kindle DX.
Then you update to 2.3, may OK.

Which version of package of usbNetwork should be used with 2.3.3? I found ver 5 and ver 11.
Thanks.

First af all my most sincere thank you for your help in this forum.

Unfortunately i´m not familiar with Linux Programming, so I dont know what should I do with the code you provide. Ive search on this subject on the forum and I´ve seen nothing.

Another question Ive been gathering around, Ive got the US kindleDX, bit I live in Spain, is there anyway to use the wireless connection in this situation?

Thank you again.

Did anyone get an idea how to make usbnetwork work on a 2.5 firmware KindleDX US? It seems that the Version 11 does not work on 2.5 firmware.
Thank you.

The developers have to get their hands on the 2.5 file before anything can be done.
