Default Battery drain with WM6 and wifi

Hello,
I am experiencing a tremendous battery drain when the wifi is switched on, but the device is not used. The battery is discharged after 12 hours!

With this setting, with WM5, the charge would last 2 to 3 days.

I am now testing how the battery performs when the wifi is switched off.

Does anyone experiences this battery drain with the wifi switched on? Is there a solution to this problem? (I just find switching the wifi on and off manually a little annoying)

Thanks!
