In my opinion (based on my continuous experience) hardly any touch smartphone is suitable for elderly person older than 70 (may be 75, it depends...).
and the person we're talking about does They can always go back to the dumbphone if they don't like it.
Being the family's technical support: that's my case too

You could try ProfileMatic, use a WLAN condition and custom action when connected.
PR1.3: Condition: "Internet connection" does not work if either "Allow background connections" is off, or "Power Saving mode" is on. This seems to be N9 platform bug.

You will need to script something changing the gconf value for the/all connections and put it as icon on home screen.
Profilematic is definetely something you should check, it has huge potential
Worst case you can create scan tags for her to put here and there...
EDIT 1: need to check app behaviour too then, ofc.
EDIT 2:

If I remember correctly, many apps on N9 don't support landscape and the screen is such small that the portrait keyboard is quite difficult to type on. No tips or tricks to offer, but it might be a deal-breaker.

As far as I see, either wlancond or wps_ui is responsible for showing up the connection prompt.
Can we modify the dbus configuration, so that when a dbus signal is sent to com.nokia.wlancond a script is run?

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import gobject, dbus
from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop
#def handle_sms(sendernumber):
# print 'Got New Message.'
# print 'New message from %s' % sendernumber
def handle_sms2(event):
print 'Got new event.'
# print 'New event message %s' % event
print 'First event element %s' % event[0][0]
print 'First event element date %d %d %d' % event[0][2][0]
print 'First event phone number %s' % event[0][12]
print 'First event message %s' % event[0][15]
print 'Setting up listener . . .'
DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)
print 'Getting System Bus . . .'
#Aha, needs to be SessionBus on N9 see https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=95876
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
#print 'Adding signal receiver . . .'
#bus.add_signal_receiver(handle_sms, path='/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Connection/ring/tel/ring/text30', dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Messages', signal_name='MessageReceived')
print 'Adding event receiver . . .'
bus.add_signal_receiver(handle_sms2, path='/CommHistoryModel', dbus_interface='com.nokia.commhistory', signal_name='eventsAdded')
print 'Running main loop'
gobject.MainLoop().run()
print 'done'
It does not prevent other processes from getting that message. In this case, SMSs are still processed normally.

My messaging application has been crashing after I increased the font size, so I had to flash back in order to read some text messages I could not open.

- dumbphone lasts daaaaaaaaaaays before the charger is needed, i.e. no need to remember to charge every (second) day + mind also that connecting the charger may be quite difficult for elderly person particulary using the ***** micro USB (solution may be a charging/docking station) + opening the N9 micro USB door must be nightmare for elderly people
- dumbphone is usually much more shockproof (yes, elderly people unintentionally drop things on the floor) and spare LCDs and other spares are much more cheaper and are usually quickly and easy replaceable
- dumbphone software is usaually much more foolproof, no unwanted silent mode or flight mode, no weird problems and no need to ask anybody to solve it. I really like my N9 but sometimes something really weird occurs and it's necessary to find the solution.
Also, the old resistive touch LCDs may be better for elderly person, because more strength is needed (i.e. less unwanted touches) and also the nail can be used for touching the screen. Good trade-off may also be old Nokia "touch&type" devices having both resistive LCD and physical keyboard (but with small numbers and letters...).
Just mi point of view, being some kind of telco consultant/serviceman for more elderly people in my family for years :-)
