This way you could browse the net for 10 hours (with the exception of a few sites, where you need to log on and stay connected)
I hope somebody here knows how to do this and would help us to achieve this!

Hey! That was how the Apple Newton worked (AFAIK)
.
If there is a way to bypass using connectionManager to do the connection, perhaps it can be done fast enough to be usable. Right now using connectionManager, it's like 5-8 seconds to connect in my setup (although I have the access point is quite far), and I don't think it'll be very usable this way if we connect/fetch page/disconnect. Anyway, in the zaurus it's like 3 seconds to connect, and I don't think that it can be done better than that.
P.S.: I had the impression that the batteries lasted more than 2h with wifi... I'll have to do some tests.
