Very useful for the T68, since due to design turning on WiFi is an annoying 4-click procedure.
Right now CC displays a "Toast", a message that floats over the screen for a few seconds. Instead of that we could display a dialog that says the same thing but offers a "turn on wifi" button and a "try again" button. Pushing the turn on wifi button would (gasp!) turn on wifi and leave the dialog showing. You would wait until your device connected to something and then tap the "try again" button. Does this work for you?

I am a bit leery of having an option that always turns wifi on, because in some situations that isn't appropriate behavior. It could also interact with content server 3g connections. Using the dialog seems to get the ease of use you are looking for while leaving the choice to the user.
