Many righteous WLAN cards have the election process hard-wired, and some can even be tweaked by driver. Others that are the radio equivalent of a WinModem do it completely in software, but the net result is that [nearly] all of them are wise enough to roam only when necessary. Adjacent BSSIDs (APs for this discussion) on the same channel can make it hard for some devices to elect and they will waffle, but that can usually be solved by moving two feet and channelization, which itself is a lecture for another day/place. > Sorry, I'm just curious... Not a problem - we all are in some form or another. Glad to help.
