Multiple networks for the same ssid

Hello,
if I define into wpa_supplicant configuration file the following network entry:
network={
ssid="myssid"
psk="mypassword"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
}
I get into wpa_cli:
> scan_results
bssid / frequency / signal level / flags / ssid
00:0b:6b:4e:36:05 2462 201 [WPA-PSK-TKIP+CCMP] myssid
00:0b:6b:4e:36:19 2462 199 [WPA-PSK-TKIP+CCMP] myssid
> list_networks
network id / ssid / bssid / flags
0 myssid any [CURRENT]
As you can see I have two APs with the same ssid but the wpa_supplicant sees
only one network... it could be logic but what about if I need to roam between
the two APs? Maybe if the signal strenght is low or for any other reason...
I think it could be useful having the possibility to see something like the
following by default:
network id / ssid / bssid / flags
0 myssid 00:0b:6b:4e:36:05 [CURRENT]
1 myssid 00:0b:6b:4e:36:19
Is that wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Rodolfo
