Signal strength is used mainly when selecting a specific AP within a single ESS (network/same SSID). For selecting a network, the priority and/or security level of the network profile is used instead as the main selection criteria. In other words, if you have multiple network profiles enabled, it is indeed quite possible to end up selecting a more security or more preferred (higher priority value in the network profile) even if the signal strength for that the APs in that network is smaller. wpa_supplicant debug log should include details about network selection at the point when the scan results are processed for the initial connection. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
