I wonder if this gconftool setting (discussed here) has now become the default in the new firmware? It might be worth trying the old value:

Code:
gconftool-2 --set --type int '/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/wlan_sleep_timeout' '1000'
And seeing if it makes any difference.
Hmmm, so then my statement of "everything working better when i am streaming a radio station while surfing" actually makes sense.
First thing i'll try when i get home. Update in about one hour.

Ton.

I have already flashed back, so I can't try it. But it could be the solution

I did it without becoming root first. Don't know if it will be saved though. Milhouse?

I did it as root. Paste or type it into xterm. Now Youtube etc. works fine.

So it seems they may have been a bit too aggressive with the power savings settings?

Glad it helped, and it should be saved across boots.

My advice would be to tweak the value down until you find the lowest value which still works - this will maximise your battery.

Someone needs to open a bug report for this and everyone experiencing this problem should provide details of their access point (make, model and firmware) so that Nokia can identify the problem/fine tune the settings. A GUI option in the Connectivity applet might be a good idea in future as a failsafe for anyone hitting this problem so they don't need to meddle with gconftool settings etc.

As per the mailing list item

Unfortunately not all WLAN Access Points support PSM properly. So
reducing this timeout might create problems with certain APs.
it's possible that you access point is one of those that hasn't implemented Power Save Mode correctly - are you using the latest firmware? Maybe PSM is implemented properly in a later firmware.

The aggressive settings work just fine with my Linksys WRT54GS access point, but it would be helpful if (once a bug exists) that you all mention your access point details in Bugzilla so that Nokia can work around the problem in future, either by blacklisting your access points (they will default to 1000ms) or adding an "advanced" Connection GUI option to increase the timeout back to 1000ms for those access point connections with dodgey PSM.
