Unless things have changed lately, your device should not download a FW update package as long as you do not sync with the kobo server. Synchronizing with Pocket, does not cause the device to download a FW update file.
Even when a FW update package is downloaded, it is not supposed to be installed by nickel. The next time you go to the KSM main menu, you should see an entry "handle update files" (or something to that effect). Then you can (1) "install update" (this will install the full update and thereby disable KSM), or (2) "install partial update" (this will install the update and preserve those files that are needed by KSM), or (3) "delete update files."
I remember two people reporting that a spontaneous FW update happened and disabled KSM. If memory serves correctly, in both cases the update happened over night with nickel sleeping. The reports were not so detailed that I was able to figure out what happened.

How exactly did you try to connect? Since you are using Pocket, I guess the network you want to use is already known to the device. Try therefore "wifi" > "wifi aneble dhcp.sh." You should then see a message to the effect that libraries have been loaded, or when it did not work, that they have not been loaded.
Updating the FW in KSM consist of several steps (this is because I like to have control of each step). I have to look whether, I in the KSM thread there is a description of how to do it and the different options.
I would rather recommend that you let nickle download the update package, or you side load it.

The menu entry "handle update" appears only when there is an update package already copied/downloaded to the device.
A better place for this question would have been the KSM 08 thread. In the first post of this thread, you will also find some information that might be useful.
As to KOReader, it is not wiped by a FW update (KSM is also not wiped). But with KSM being disabled you cannot start KOReader (at least not with KSM).
