Initial choice of network should consider RSSI?

[Cedric Sodhi <ManDay@openmail.cc>]

Hello,

I have a permanent problem with IWD when multiple known networks (different SSIDs) are in range: With a large probably (although it is most likely just random, depending on when the beacons fire) IWD manages to connect to a network with an unusable low RSSI while better networks are available.

I suspect there is currently no logic in place which would somehow work in favor of making a "good" choice? RoamThreshold, for example, doesn't seem to apply and InitialPeriodicScanInterval seems to have no effect either, given that the (initial) connection to the (bad) network happens immediately before InitialPeriodicScanInterval passed, and that choice does not seem to be revised even if the better network becomes visible within InitialPeriodicScanInterval.

Would it possible to either extend the meaning of InitialPeriodicScanInterval or introduce another option which would allow IWD to connect to a better, different SSID (thus not covered by roaming) within an initial period?
