Orinoco and WLAGS Hermes1 and Hermes2 has some "sensitivy"
setting, from 1..3:
$ iwconfig eth1 sens 3
What exactly this does is a bit opaque and handled by the
firmware.
Madwifi does roaming OK, here we have many iwpriv settings that
can be used to fine-tune this:
$ iwpriv eth1 bgscan 0
$ pre-up iwpriv eth1 rssi11g 26
$ pre-up iwpriv eth1 rssi11b 26
But this isn't exactly the driver, but their own 802.11
implementation.
