Playing with the KSM 09 webinterface

I am starting now to write the first posts of this thread, and will continue as time permits.

I consider the usbnet as the primary network for using the KSM webinterface. Among the advantages are: With usbnet, there are less chances that somebody else accesses your device via the network than it is with wifi. KSM needs much less time to get ready when you power on the device, when it has not to try to connect to a wifi network. When you start nickel, it does not care whether usbnet is on, but it does become unresponsive when wifi is already switched on (at least with recent versions of nickel).

Configure your pc to use the Kobo reader as an usb network device:

In the following I will speak of usbnet, but you can also use wifi instead, except when nickel is involved.

When usbnet is enabled and the server running (for instance when KSM starts after you powered the device on), execute the following line in the navigation bar of the webbrowser of your pc:
This will make the webinterface appear in the browser, and prevent the usbnet and the server from timing out.
Next press "toggle btw full and short menu" in order to prevent nickel from auto starting.
