    type `~ds` into search bar. this functionality is installed automatically with the jailbreak

    ### turn off and on wifi (apparently stops kindle OS from interfering)

    ```bash
    /etc/init.d/wifi stop
    /etc/init.d/wifi --mode std
    ```

    you can also put the wifi into host mode or ad-hoc mode

    ### join network

    ```bash
    iwconfig wlan0 essid has_no_internet
    ```

    ### allow kindle to connect to non-internet enabled wifi

    ```bash
    touch /mnt/us/WIFI_NO_NET_PROBE
    restart wifid
    ```
