Since Windows systems are a bit different below is a shorthand version for Windows XP. If you get confused by anything, see Jesse’s original post for more detail. Vista procedure is probably a bit different.
Get the driver here: http://www.davehylands.com/linux/gumstix/usbnet/linux.inf (If you run XP x64 or Vista 64-bit, you will need to modify the driver as documented here: http://docwiki.gumstix.org/index.php/Windows_XP_usbnet#Step_7.)
Enable Internet Sharing on your Windows box. Open the “Network Connections” Control Panel, right click on your main network connection and select “Properties.” Select the “Advanced” tab and enable “Allow other network users to connect …”
On your Kindle press “HOME”.
Search: ;debugOn
(Optional) Search “`help” to verify debug mode is on; you should get a list of available commands.
Search: `usbNetwork
Search: `usbQa
Connect your Kindle to your computer’s USB port. You should see a network connection detected. When it asks to install a driver tell it to manually install, and point it to the directory you saved linux.inf to.
The “Network Connections” Control Panel will now have a new network connection listed. Right click on it, select “Properties,” click on “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” at the bottom of the scroll box and press “Properties.” Enter the following: “IP address: 192.168.15.200″ “Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.”
Shortly after connecting to the Internet you Kindle should update the time setting. You can confirm if it does so by searching: @time
To get your Kindle back to normal USB mode, restart it: “HOME” “MENU” “Settings” “MENU” “Restart”作者: 翔子 时间: 2011-3-28 00:56
For today's experiment, you will need:
One Amazon Kindle 2
One computer (the instructions assume you're using a mac)
One Amazon Kindle MicroUSB cable
Make sure your Kindle is not connected to your computer.
Reboot your Kindle:
First, Click "Menu", then pick "Settings"
Now, Click "Menu", then pick "Restart"
Enable debug mode:
From the Kindle's home screen, type something to get the search box to pop up.
Hit the DEL key to clear the content of the search box.
Hit Sym and select the Semicolon (;) using the 5-pad.
Type debugOn
(You should now see ;debugOn)
Click the enter key.
Congratulations. You've turned on Debug mode. From here on in, you can probably do all sorts of things to render your Kindle 2 useless.
To verify that debug mode is on, run the private debug tools "help" command.
From the Kindle's home screen, type something to get the search box to pop up.
Hit the DEL key to clear the content of the search box.
Hit Sym and select the ` using the 5-pad. (It's the next-to-last thing on the middle row)
Type help (You should now see `help)
Hit the enter key
You should now see a list of commands. We're interested in two of them: `usbNetwork and `usbQa.
Click to close the menu. From the Kindle's home screen, type something to get the search box to pop up.
Hit the DEL key to clear the content of the search box.
Hit Sym and select the ` using the 5-pad. (It's the next-to-last thing on the middle row)
Type usbNetwork (You should now see `usbNetwork)
Hit the enter key If you were to stop here, the Kindle would be in USB network mode but wouldn't be set up to try to talk to the Internet over that interface
Type something to get the search box to pop up.
Hit the DEL key to clear the content of the search box.
Hit Sym and select the ` using the 5-pad. (It's the next-to-last thing on the middle row)
Type usbQa (You should now see `usbQa)
Hit the enter key
Now it's time to plug your Kindle 2 into your Computer. If I have to talk you through plugging in a USB cable, you should probably stop reading here.
Once you plug in your Kindle 2, you should see something like this:

Click Network Preferences. (Adjust accordingly for Linux or Windows)
Next, you should see something like this:
[url=http://bestpractical.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83456074b69e2011168a7fe94970c-pi]
Configure your computer with a static (manual) IP Address:
Type 192.168.15.200 into the IP Address field.
Click "Apply" in the lower right-hand corner.
Congratulations. You've set up a network connection between your computer and your Kindle 2.
You can test the local network connection by popping up a terminal and using ping
Type ping 192.168.15.244
If things are working right, you should see something like this:

Assuming that's working right for you, the last step is to set up Internet Sharing so that the Kindle can use your computer's network connection to talk to the outside world. On a Mac, that's pretty straight forward. Open up System Preferences and click on Sharing. You'll want to set up a config something like this:
[url=http://bestpractical.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83456074b69e2011168a8021c970c-pi]
And that's about it. If you open up the Kindle Store, you'll be able to browse and buy books. (You'll also note that the Kindle's wireless indicator shows empty boxes. The EVDO is turned off automatically as you bring up USB networking).
When you want to use the Kindle 2 in disk mode again, you'll need to get it out of USB Network mode. There's likely a way to get the device back onto wireless without restarting, but restarting is easy enough that I haven't gone exploring.
First, Click "Menu", then pick "Settings"
Now, Click "Menu", then pick "Restart"
