Overall we probably have 30 APs floating around, all broadcasting the same essid, which uses WPA2 with TKIP/PEAP. I find that my wlan0 device falls into a "no-carrier" status when I move too far away from the AP I origianlly connected too. I'm wondering if there's something specific with wpa_supplicant that needs to be done to maintain connections, or if the wireless driver itself is not properly identifying duplicate AP names and switching when I move around. Any suggestions for improving my in-office wireless experience? Cheers - R.
