Hi:
I am using s Linksys 802.11b wireless network card and two 802.11b
wireless APs(with ssid: AP1 and AP2)
to create the environment to test the hand-off feature.

The wireless card is a Linksys card with orinoco dirver (version
v0.15rc1).

First step, I opened the card and AP1, (and closed AP2),they both
worked well.The card
assocated with the AP1, and can communicate with other machines via
AP1.

Second step, I re-opened the card and AP2, (and closed AP1),they
both worked well.The card
assocated with the AP2, and can communicate with other machines via
AP2.

Third step, I re-opened the card and the two APs.Firstly the card
assocated with AP1,
after a while ,I closed AP1, but the card cannot switch to AP2.When
I changed the order,
the result is the same. The card still cannot switch between the two
APs automaticly.

So what bothering me is that a wireless card should have the
capability to handoff between different APs.
Why it didnot work in our test?

Thanks in advance.
