I don't have an amazon account so I guess it may be registered to the person I got it off.
when I look under "settings" > "Device Info" I get the mac address, the serial number and a "Network Capability" flag which says "Wi-Fi"

The message you quoted is generated on the Kindle when the developer keys (which is what MKK contains) is erased.
And it may very well be **NOT** because of the jailbreak, but because it was able to connect to Amazon for the first time since you received it (and fixed the WiFi) -
Which was when it would have "discovered" that the person who gave it to you had un-registered it from their account.
Which of course would have erased the developer's keys (and MKK and generated the message).

I got the kindle off a family member who has upgraded to a newer model.
It's possible that they unregistered the older kindle but unless this step is explicitly requested by amazon, it's unlikely that they would.

So what else have you not told us?
Like:
What did you do to get the wifi working?
In what way was it not working?
|
The device could not see any available networks,
The "Settings" > "Wi-Fi Networks" flag was showing "Available Wi-Fi Networks(0)
This was despite being in range of an AP.
When I attempted to do a "Settings" > "menu" > "Reset to Factory Defaults"
the kindle would not respond.
I found a work around in this amazon forum post
http://www.amazon.co.uk/forum/kindle...Tx8EOG0USADUPW
User Jack Savage shows that the device can be reset by setting a password and inputting "resetmykindle" at the login
After this, the Wi-Fi began functioning correctly.
