It's a background service which must remain connected, and also cannot
be overridden by the user, so I need a programmatic solution to keep
wifi on.  I'm trying:
wl = wifiManager.createWifiLock(tag);
                wl.acquire()

but that doesn't seem to be working.

I don't want to get too far into what the application is yet, but it
runs as a background service and must be constantly monitoring a
machine over wifi (perhaps later Bluetooth).  It would be sold as a
prepackaged phone.  It's OK for the service to only to a single
reading every few seconds, but the wifi must be available when the
thread wakes up.
