I've noticed that in a recent patch that when you set a NIC with ifconfig ath0 ssid "This One" that it won't always honor that and jump on the strongest one. Example: 3 WAPs: SSIDs WAP1, WAP2, WAP3 I have set ath0's ssid to "WAP2" and ral0's ssid to "WAP3". They both will honor the ssid setting for the first connection. However, after a few hours/etc the drivers both associate with WAP1. The settings to require the specific SSID are in /etc/start_if.ral0/start_if.ath0. There aren't any conflicting directives to force it to go blank and select a random AP.
