With the update to Android 4.0.3, I noticed that the wifi is always on.

I used to have the sleep policy where is turns itself of when ilse for some time.

Where did this feature go with ICS?

On a pretty much vanilla build on my EVO, I can get to it by going into
Settings->Wifi->(Menu Button)->Advanced. It's listed as "Keep WiFi on during sleep". Just be sure to tap on the left half of the "Wifi" menu item, since the right half is simply the toggle.

Indeed! Thank you! The button on the right was quite confusing. Also, I have a big thumb and whenever I touched the bar, I would simply toggle the wifi on/off. – user10769 Dec 19 '11 at 21:09
As it turns out, the wifi is still on all the time! No matter which option I choose... Reset did not help. – user10769 Dec 20 '11 at 12:11
@Matt: Hm, well that certainly sounds like a bug! – eldarerathis♦ Dec 20 '11 at 14:03
Holy cow, how long had I been looking for that option! Many thanks @eldarerathis for the directions, I've now found it and set it. Nice. – Captain Toad Mar 18 '12 at 3:50
