Almost all APs support roaming, because they'd have to go out of their way to prevent it: roaming is controlled from the client end. Most clients seem to just implement the "wait until contact is lost with the current AP then scan for a new one" scheme, though cleverer approaches are possible. Roaming between AirPort and AirStation APs certainly works. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
