I'm glad I'm not the only one who misses this! Good to know that about the PR 1.1 too. I'd wait if 1.3 gets it fixed.

I also remember N900 having some Auto Disconnect app exactly for this, perhaps something could be tailored for N9 as well. If 1.3 won't fix that I guess I could look into it, I've never done Meego programing before (only python/qt for N900), but I've did some linux programming, basically monitoring sysfs for traffic on network interfaces and closing them if they don't change in some reasonable timeout should be doable I guess.
