preferring wifi to bluetooth
 
Whenever I leave home or the office, the N800 will switch to bluetooth for internet access. But I'd like it to keep looking for wifi access, and automatically switch back when it finds one. Is there any way to tell it to prefer wifi?

Yes, under Settings -> Control Panel -> Connectivity -> Connect Automatically should read WLAN Connections. Yours is probably set to Any Connection now.

Yes, I guess I need a fourth option: "WLAN where possible, else use the phone." I should learn how to script this gadget, and run a cron job to search for wifi. Anybody done it already?
Even better would be if the existing system is scripted, and can be patched.

Anyone has an answer to this? I recently started using bluetooth to access internet and found the same problem: If I am connected to wifi and lose signal, my N810 automatically connects to the phone. But if I enter an area with wifi I would prefer to switch from bluetooth to wifi.
