Default Wifi sleep/always on

Ok, It seems WP7 won't set wifi to 'always on' unless the device is plugged in. This drives me nutts when using htpc remote apps on my phone and just seems like an obvious feature to build in to the OS. I understand MS's 'battery life' reasoning initially, but there should be an easy way for power users to manipulate this setting...amirite??

Has anyone found a way/hack/regedit to manually set this? Or maybe a lesser known app floating about the interwebz you might care to share with us

Thanks,

I add my voice to yours. Such a simple yet needed feature that needs to be addressed.
