As I understand it a good WLAN device driver will associate and re-associate 
with the next available device when it comes into range.  Some drivers are 
not that good at re-associating.  In that case you may have to modprobe -r 
and then reload the driver, or unplug/replug the WiFi device if it is a 
USB/cardbus.  If you engage in the noble sport of  wardriving then you 
will need to use a good device that has well developed drivers in Linux.  I 
am not aware of a daemon that performs this function in parallel to the WiFi 
device driver, sort of a ifplugd for wireless, but others may know better.
