I think in order to work correctly, the right hints are in this posting: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=27
(but I'm not sure, because, again, this was meant for Kindle 3).

Basically, for Kindle 3 you had to convince the UI that it connected to the Wifi network itself. So in a first step, you make the SSID known to the framework by connecting to a temporarily set up infrastructure network with the SSID you plan to connect later via WPA-EAP, but in the temporary case with unprotected standard Wifi. Afterwards, you make the Kindle try and connect to the real network and start the setup script right afterwards. The framework will then think it configured the Wifi itself and will care for doing DHCP and allowing to actually use the Wifi link.
