Hmm, I don't know how it is in OSX, but it is sort of perfect for *me* under linux. I simply open the lid whereever I am and it detects whether I am in the office at home or connected through somme open net. And yes, when I plug in the ethernet plug eth1 is ifdown'd and eth0 goes up in the right network. Same vice versa. This all works through ifplugd and ifupdown-roaming. However you seem to ask for access point hopping, which is what aphopper is for http://aphopper.sourceforge.net/ I would also consider having a look at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ it has really a lot of useful infos. Soeren.
