ssh over USBnetwork disconnects after 30 seconds

[hallmist]

I've got a K3W, and installed the USBnetwork tool. I followed the instructions, and I'm able to ssh to my kindle. For a short time.

The problem is that after less than a minute, the connection stops responding to ping requests. Performing ifconfig usb0 down and then ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2 brings the connection back up for another 45 seconds. Disabling the firewall with ufw disable had no effect.

I read the README_FIRST.txt file and saw the reference to killing netwatchd (though the comment is only for outgoing connections) I used top to see what was running on the kindle, and didn't see netwatchd running.

I've searched over this forum and found someone who tried nmap for network debugging. If I run nmap while I can ping, it shows ports 22 and 23 open for ssh and telnet respectively. But then once ping starts timing out, nmap -Pn shows port 554 open for rtsp and 7070 open for realserver. I'm thinking this is just an artifact, but thought I'd provide all the information I have.

I'm running Lubuntu 14.04 LTS and kindle firmware 3.4.1.

Anyone have any ideas?

Well, crap. I read those so long ago, I had forgotten. Thanks for the quick response.
