Anyone else seeing an issue with the wifi on the N900?

As a test, I setup my laptop to accept wireless connections and share my internet connection. I can see my N900 connect every few minutes. Its like once it goes into power save, it doesn't keep a reliable connection anymore. If I try to use the browser or app manager, it still continues to disconnect and reconnect.

That is the normal behaviour for powersave mode. see here

if your router does not support psm then this is your problem

Ok, I turned off the power save on the N900. I rebooted it and reconnected. Still seems to keep dropping the connection repeatedly. Maybe it is the adhoc mode messing it up. I'll try it at home tonight with my regular wifi and see what happens.

Thanks for that info tho! Great info!
