Wireless shuts off when tablet timesout have to reboot

[chile5o]

I have a g tab running cyanogen mod7 gingerbread 2.3.3. I have screen timeout set to 2 minutes. When the tab times out and sits for about 20 minutes the wireless shuts off. If I go into settings and manage wireless settings the tab freezes and eventually forceclose wireless not responding. To get wireless back I have to reboot the tab. Is there some setting im missing?

Thanks in advance

are you running a custom kernel?

You have the wifi sleep policy enabled. Go to wifi settings (as if you were to connect to a wifi network), press the menu button, then select advance, then Wi-Fi sleep policy, and then select one of the Never options.

The idea is great, but I do not think the "wake up" feature works.

T . . I do not think the "wake up" feature works . . .

Perhaps it all depends on custom Rom. My set-up with Calkulin + Clemsyn combo re-enables wifi within seconds after sleep. There may be other reasons that we may not understand fully.

are you running a custom kernel?

I tried

[Kernel] 2.6.32.38 - OC-UV-VFP_FP (1.400GHZ) - Gtab/Zpad (Update 4/20/11)

from pershoot over as XDA Forums but the tablet was acting all buggy, freezing, lags, super sensitive touch screen
so I reverted back to the stock kernal with CWR

You have the wifi sleep policy enabled. Go to wifi settings (as if you were to connect to a wifi network), press the menu button, then select advance, then Wi-Fi sleep policy, and then select one of the Never options.

I'll try that when I get home from work today (didn't bring my tab with me today)

Thanks I'll let you know the results

Its a setting that I almost always forget to change after a refresh. I hate that setting. i understand it, but don't like it.
