[HELP] Cannot usb network kindle 2
My kindle 2 (free 3G) refuses to successfully start the usb network. I think I have found the main problem though. According to the BBB-LastAction dump that I obtained using KUAL, my ip_tables are probably corrupt or missing; Code:
Packet counts taken at: 2013-09-25T22:25:51UTC FATAL: Error inserting ip_tables (/lib/modules/2.6.22.19-lab126/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) iptables v1.3.3: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. Any amount of help is appreciated! P.S. I am somewhat experienced when it comes to Linux. But please don't be surprised if I don't understand what you mean. |

I did not have a K2 to test on, and requests for testing by K2 owners fell on deaf ears. ** WITHOUT ** trying to install the KUAL firewall - Use the generate the "Packet Report" and attach to your next post. That will show me the structure on Amazon's firewall on the K2. |

here's the updated report (using the factory firewall) Code:

Sure does.
In fact, it looks like the K2 kernel is not even configured to run a firewall. Just for reference - what firmware version is that device running? Last edited by knc1; 10-01-2013 at 04:07 PM. |

Accually I was just using the packet report to see if it would give any clue as to why the USB network was completely unusable.

Which USBNet hack did you use, and how did you try to set it up?

@Terra_Byte: And then?
Because there's no WiFi on the K2, and the only piece of code that would call iptables is hidden behind a K3_WIFI config switch that is disabled by default. |

I'm not sure what I did after that (it was a while ago) should I just uninstall and re-install it? |

[UPDATE] *sigh* Still can't ssh or telnet to the device... :/
I also ran a diagnostic on it and apparently it doesn't have a valid IP configuration (which I've tried to fix before). |
