I doubt you could get anything to work without recompiling the kernel to get the device drivers you would need?

thanks Brian, good point, tend to wear too many hats...
reading through: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html have the feeling that ethercards have been around so long this may be doable... |

I suppose you will still need to add USB Host Mode support to Kindle.

http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/
the simplest possible likely solution might for example be: modprobe usbnet FATAL: Module usbnet not found modprobe dm9601 FATAL: Module dm9601 not found davicom dm9601 is cheap, popular and in my toolbox... A few Kindle Fire developers would like ethernet too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1813342 selection of reasons provided... willing to trial if anyone has ideas... |

Further work still needs to be done such that it becomes possible to connect also normal hubs to the Kindle. Only reason why you need a powered hub is that the Kindle's USB port notices that there is activity on the port and wakes it up from low power suspend mode. |
