It seems to work. After setting http_check_status to no_login as below, the connection can be changed from 'use manually' to 'use automatically' at will, and it remains.

Get the value of http_check_status for a connection:
Code:
$ gconftool-2 --get /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<unique identifier>/http_check_status
unknown
Change it to 'no_login':
Code:
$ gconftool-2 --type string --set /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<unique identifier>/http_check_status "no_login"
Verify that it was updated:
Code:
$ gconftool-2 --get /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<unique identifier>/http_check_status
no_login
You will need to determine the unique identifier for your connection by first using:
Code:
gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP
This will dump the settings for all of your network connections.

Thanks ginggs for finding this.

Even I had those settings (no_login, true) my WiFi blinked just shortly (recognised by blinking WLAN icon) but then shutdown instantly when I came back home (or disabled flight mode).
I always had to enable WLAN manually or by requesting a refresh manually.
That was reason to build my own local service/'solution'.

Which is now obsolete!

Thanks to our techstaff at MO (especially fstern, a huge big explicit THX to him!) we have a solution for this problem and also the WLAN-does-not-connect-automatic behaviour with a new HTTP service online:
connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org

Necessary is to redirect connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com to connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org via entry in hosts file.
Edit /etc/hosts with vi/nano/editor and add the following line
213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

Once more: thanks to fstern!

--edit
Other solution is to hexedit /usr/sbin/icd2 to change above domain names. Just did so, tested briefly and it seems to works!
I attached the gzipped binary. NB: I am on OpenMode.
If you use the stock (aegis) kernel then it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to also modify /var/lib/aegis/refhashlist to take care of changed sha1sum (else you MALF).
old sum: 7df08ec1cf11fbb794498b9ef8ce73ae23c82e2
new sum: 0dc1f7e3e7af45f39dc00559052e78f005df6f60
Please see this before doing anything.

after reading this, i tried to ping connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com. No reply, offline again.

I request ginggs to update the first post, and also link the above as the solution.

I have noticed on my N9 that new connections keep reverting to manual after I set it to auto connect. But I have some older connections that will auto connect. I have noticed that the older connections are open or no encryption. My current Internet provider has provided a modem router box that has wpa enabled and the N9 keep reverting to manual connection from auto connect.

That is the expected behaviour since connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com is down.

That is a coincidence.

We now have our own connectivity test service hosted at maemo.org, but it requires modifying the file /etc/hosts on your N9. Please see first post for details.

I used the text editor on my N9 to add

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

to /etc/hosts and I get a "permissions denied" error

Use simple text root from openrepos.
