Default Program to keep wifi on during sleep mode?

I dont have a data plan so when it switches, all my data applications (helloaim, etc) go dead. Is there any app on the g1 that keeps the wifi radio on? I know the iphone has something like this

thanks

I know this is cliche and annoying but that's an option in the cupcake build I tried.

just turn the screen time-out to Never, so it never goes into sleep mode. i know this isn't very practicle and quite battery-consuming, but i can't think of anything else that would work.

Keep WiFi

Annoyed by observing your WiFi connection switches with 2G/3G when your cell phone takes its pause?

This service will keep your Wifi connection on air, even if your phone's screen goes off.

This service does not influence your normal WiFi enable/disable behaviour.

There is an app in the market called Wifi Lock that does what you are looking for and its free.
