Hmmm, this is very worrying... Can this happen on a Kindle 3 too? I.e. upgrading without my consent AND without me even turning on WiFi/3G? If so, then I would be very interested in a hack to PREVENT this from happening. KPV on Kindle 3 is, for me, a "mission critical" application and I don't want to wake up one day to see the device "auto-upgraded" with something that disables it.

What I am saying is that they may turn on WiFi "behind my back" and download the latest firmware and upgrade the device. Is this at all possible? Does anyone know the answer?

I found this suggestion:

# mv /etc/uks /etc/uks.disabled

Is this a good idea or will it disable ALL TODO requests, e.g. getting a book via WiFi? I want to disable just the auto-updating.
