Are you sure that it is crashing and not freezing up for a bit? I leave wifi on all the time, usually so I can
ssh in to the n900. From time to time my session locks up for a while, even while I am typing. After a few seconds or minutes, it frees up again as though nothing had happened and all the characters that I typed while it was frozen show up.

Changing powersaving from maximum to medium helped a bit, but did not eliminate the problem.
