WIFI won't turn off when going into standby (kills the battery)

Hey folks.

I posted this at xda-dev.com and didn't get any help so hopefully I'll have more luck here.

Long story short, everything was working great until I began using wmwifirouter a few days ago. Before, when I would use my wifi for streaming radio or web browsing at home, and I hit the power button for standby it would discontinue the wifi connection, and when I turned it back on it would reestablish the connection. I got good battery life leaving the phone on and keeping it in standby waiting for calls to come in.

Well after using wmwifirouter for the first time, it has changed a setting which now keeps the wifi active in standby, which is good for internet sharing, but drains the battery very quickly when just waiting for calls to come in on standby when not using the wmwifiouter program.

Anyone else have this problem? It might be a good excuse to upgrade my rom and start over but I was happy with everything until this started happening. I am using colonel's 12-28-07 rom which came with the .81 version of wmwifirouter.

I would really love some help here, and sorry for the long post.
