Automatically Connecting to Best Signal Strength

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Not sure of your setup but, here is something to think about. Roaming
requires the wireless cells to overlap by at least 20%. The APs must all
have the same SSID but on different channels, 1 6 or 11 if 802.11b or g.
They must all be in the same subnet.
