Hello,

I'm Trying to make a portable computer with a kindle as a screen using a ssh-session.

My current problem is that the kindle wont connect to a wifi without internet connection.

the business logic around internet checking is inside Kindle's /etc/upstart/wifid.conf - this file content should probably mention some URL the wifid daemon is using to check if internet is working

then it should possible to tell my wifi routing software to actually catch the Kindle's request to the URL and respond with expected message to the Kindle.

Have anybody tried anything like this?

I'm not sure if it is important, but i use the Kindle Paperwhite (2015)

sincerely,
Mr0riiz
