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.

Not a problem - we all are in some form or another.  Glad to help.
