Thanks for the answers. This is really silly.

There actually was a previous bug filed on this, with a better description IMHO.
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5422

I just voted for it and added this :

Sorry, but as a longtime Maemo user I find this a pretty stupid decision.

Even if a system "is meant to be always online", users should be the ones to decide how they want to use their system, and they should have a choice.

This functionality (with the UI to set it !) has been present in all versions of Maemo since OS2005 on the 770... how hard could it be to keep it in Fremantle ?

Maximum power saving doesn't work for everybody, my Wifi AP doesn't support it and freezes connections every few minute. Battery life on the N900 is short enough as it is, compared to previous tablets, I'd really like to stay in control of when it connects and for how long...

Please bring it back !

TIA,
fpp
