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.)
