man iwconfig

You can force the card to connect to a preselected AP with the following
command:
iwconfig eth0 ap 00:60:1D:01:23:45

anyway man page said: 
"When the quality of  the  connection goes  too low, the driver may
revert back to automatic mode (the card finds the best Access Point in
range)"

it is possible to turn off this feature and force the driver to connect
ONLY to the preselected AP?
