Yeah, but some Ap's do that :-)
Quote from Laurentiu:

"What I found out in the meanwhile, however, is that active traffic will
prevent the issue from occurring. This happened with the Fedora Live CD,
but pinging the AP is also sufficient. I noticed iwconfig reports that
the power saving mode is off."

So when traffic is there the issue doesn't happen, so it points to inactivity.
