I don't know if I have the exact same problem, but on Hardy with the
latest updates, NM is still unusable on my laptop. I have to APs in the
house, both with the same SSID. Sat in the family room, the signal
strength is similar from both and the system wants to flip-flop. EVERY
time it does so, it breaks all my connections. This works flawlessly
under Windows on the same machine, sigh.

The APs have no security on at the moment (just a MAC address filter -
there's nothing important on the network). Here's some sample output
from /var/log/daemon.log:

Oct  6 16:09:32 timw-laptop NetworkManager: <debug> [1223334572.791447] 
nm_device_802_11_wireless_update_bssid(): Roamed from BSSID 00:13:10:69:D1:29

As I say, EVERY time this happens, it drops my active connections (e.g.
scp gets killed). This is on a Thinkpad T42 with ipw2200 wireless.
