Changed behaviour of nickel under FW 4.0.7523. Previously, it was possible to establish a Wifi connection, for instance with KSM, and then launch nickel. As long as nickel did not try itself to enable Wifi, it was not aware of the fact that there was already a wifi connection. This was convenient for certain purposes.

With FW 4.0.7523, if one launches nickel with wifi already enabled, nickel freezes.

If one starts nickel with (KSM) "start nickel", and wifi is enabled, there is a warning and the option to turn wifi off. However, if one changes from koreader to nickel in a (KSM) nickle-koreader-loop or koreader-nickel-loop, there is currently only a warning, if wifi is enabled, but no option to turn it off. Therefore, one has to be careful to turn wifi off before one exits koreader in order to switch directly to nickel.
