The reason is to prevent battery train when somebody forgets to switch wifi off, especially since KSM does not have a sleep function.

The concerned file is /adds/kbmenu/onstart/start_nickel.sh.
The original reason was that nickel did not check on start whether wifi is on. Therefore, it was not possible to switch off the already runnig wifi in nickel, and nickel could also not use it (since there occurred an error when it tried to stat wifi that was already on). But now there is another reason to switch wifi off before entering nickel. Since one of the more recent updates nickel freezes when it is started and wifi is already on. So for these newer FWs it would be reasonable to switch wifi off automatically, without asking the user.
Thanks for the explanations. Sadly, I'm not able to find start_nickel.sh anywhere in kbmenu_user, or anywhere else on the device. I did find ksm_ini_options.txt, nickel_conf_options.txt and nightmode_conf_options.txt in confoptions, but none of them have any entries that let you disable the Wifi message.

Are you saying I have to create a script called start_nickel.sh with code to prevent the Wifi message from coming up? Sure wish I could code right now.
