You need to set search interval to Never under connection settings. This was discussed yesterday 
Edit just realized you are the guy from yesterday, don't know then since when I tell mine not to search it seems not to. Set search interval to 60 mins what are the chances that in that 30 sec time every 60 mins you will be near a wifi connection.

In my 'connectivity settings', the connect automatically 'none' option, as mentioned in the help text for the Connectivity window is missing.
EDIT: I've created maemo bug # 3139 for this.

It appears the documentation needs to be updated.
I'm used to being able to turn warnings on and off as required in Windows even if it means direct editing of the registry. There must be such an option with Linux, surely?
Thanks for the help, by the way.

I'm not sure about that. I think what needs to happen more is that the 'None' option should appear and be implemented, making the documentation correct as is.

Not the best of ways but you could set up a DummyIAP:

(Although this would mean wifi radio is running :/)

Thsi means that when using Wayfinder in the car in London, I am constantly interrupted by a message asking if I wish to connect to a list of wifi connections. If I set the N810 to offline, the idiot thing interrupts just as often asking if I want to exit the offline state.
Does anyone know why the option is missing. It makes the use of Wayfinder on the N810 possibly illegal in the UK.
Otherwise, does anyone know a good email for Nokia support on something like this? Their site obfuscates very successfully their support channels.
