Note that these findings **might** apply to only the combination mentioned in the title.
Although they are what are expected for any 5.6.x firmware. ;)
Note: This Kindle is not (yet) registered with my Amazon account.
I.E: Leaving your Kindle un-registered will NOT protect you from OTA updates.
I can't connect via WiFi to my local network without a connection to the Internet
Connect Kindle to PC with USB cable -
At the top of the USB mass storage file system tree (where the 'documents' folder is at) -
Enter the file named:
WIFI_NO_NET_PROBE
All capitals, no extension, no contents.
Be certain if using an O.S. on your PC that hides well known extensions that the file **really, really** does not have an extension!
Now your Kindle can connect to your local network even when your local network does not have a connection to the Internet.

Blocking OTA updates
Ok - next, enable connection to the Internet from your local network.
Note: You must eject from mass storage mode so the Kindle has access to the USB storage area.
Watch lights blink for awhile (there will be some bursts while the Kindle connects to Amazon and transfers your recent logs) -
Then after the communication lights have held steady for awhile -
Disrupt things by switching into airplane mode.
Note, you may have to tap the 'sync and check for new items' settings option to trigger things.
Note, there is a re-try counter on the OTA updater so it doesn't get hung in a failing download loop - so you have to capture this information on the first try (of the day).
Reconnect the USB cable and discover (attachment 1).
A PW-3 on 5.6.1.1 is really hungry for a copy of 5.6.5 ;)
Delete the partially downloaded update file and create a directory of the same name.
See attachment 2.
Eject the Kindle storage, remove the USB cable, allow it to access the network again for a short while.
Then:
home -> search -> ;dm
(the semi-colon is part of the command: "dump messages")
**NOW** re-connect the USB cable so you can access user storage again.
In the system logs (which you just created) you will find things like this:
