But it has to be possible somehow since when done manually via UI it does not autoclose even if there is no network traffic. I wonder where this manual vs automatic flag is stored. Cannot find it with gconftool. It is a shame since this is the last bit I'm missing in my bluetooth PAN setup script to make it one menu item issue.

I had to do something similiar. However iwconfig simply won't work
properly for some reason, I asked around a while ago:

Anyway, I figured a working but dodgy way to get it working.
Firstly you have to setup the wireless connection at the usual GUI
configuration. Make sure this works.
Then I have a script that runs:
dbus-send --type=method_call --system --dest=com.nokia.icd/com/nokia/icd
com.nokia.icd.connect string:${IAP} uint32:0
where $IAP is the identifier (name) of the wireless connection you've
setup in the GUI config.
Good way!
What's even worse is, I have to run that command line every 5
seconds or so (I put it in the script in a while loop to run that and
then sleep 5), as the connection daemon seems to disconnect
automatically. I think it disconnects if there's no application using
the N770 framework/lib to make network connections. So if I have some
custom software that uses the network it won't help either.
Did you specify an option in the connection manager do not break WLAN
connection never? Maybe it may help to resolve this problem.

I can't install Scratchbox to develop for ITOS2006 on my machine here, so maybe someone else can compile that and try it. Hmm, is there a way to call osso_* functions from Perl?

Do you know how to use /usr/bin/connectivity_preload.sh on the 770? See
http://maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_connectivity_guide.html
for more information.
I've written a small shell script that wraps ssh and automatically
brings up the WLAN if it isn't on already. Maemo keeps the connection
up as long as my ssh session is active. (Of course it only works for
sessions from the 770 to some remote server. It would be cool if
ssh my-nokia brought its wifi up, but there's a chicken-and-egg problem
here.)
