Help Hotspot mode transmit power

Is there a way to adjust the WiFi power on the Desire Z when in hotspot mode?

I recently bought an iPad (WiFi-only). Since it's such a joy to browse the web on the iPad, I use the Desire Z as a hotspot. I have an unlimited data plan on the phone and the only thing that's actually limited in my case is the Desire Z's battery runtime. Is there a utility to reduce the WiFi transmit power on the Desire Z to conserve power? The phone and iPad are at most just a couple of feet from each other. Probably even at the lowest setting, they'd still be able to talk to each other.

Thanks!
 
Nevermind. Found WiFi TXpower. Unfortunately for me it requires a rooted phone. Not yet ready to root mine at the moment. :(
