Intermittent 802.11 device power off

I keep seeing these messages in my wifi log when my computer has been idle for some time (~30 minutes). My application logs a change in the SID at the same time. Is there a way to disable the feature in which the network device is powered off when idle?

I am using a 2021 M1 Macbook Pro with macOS 13.2.1. The computer is connected to power supply when this happens.

  • I noticed that this had to do with the computer going to sleep and then waking up for the Power Nap feature. And I was reading my application log wrong. Please ignore this question.
