turn off wifi automatically

Hey I am one of the FEW users who actually want to turn off their WiFi automatically when sleeping (and, if possible, turning it on again when waking). Is there any way to do this?

Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.
