This is exactly the problem I have, too. But not after the switch to PR1.2, but since I started using the latest version of AutoDisconnect. RSS can not automatically establish an Internet connection. (Only manually)

Even with this feature does not work.


Therefore, so my suggestion for a further extension for AutoDisconnect.
Perhaps it is possible to integrate an Auto Connect.
Why do I need it?
What battery life I do not want my N900 constantly online, I leave the Internet connection. However, I would like my e-mail program and OMWeather be updated. Only these two programs use only one connection to the Internet, but to not even open.
So it would be a perfect opportunity to get what you can adjust all the N900 1H, 2H, 4 or 6 hours automatically be an Internet connection. And maybe you can set connection type with which it is to log in (3G or Wifi or Wifi & 3G).
