Also you can specify multiple SSIDs and then it will switch between them automatically. You can now do this in -stable or use ancontrol to set the various SSIDs. Note you can only do this for 3 SSIDs. I currently do this at work and roam between different SSIDs with the Aironet driver (but had to fix ifconfig to do the right thing). Doug A.
