Hello. I'm trying to get wifi roaming in a linux embedded device. The
network has been build with 2 Ubiquiti AP, with the same ssid and
connected with wds to each other.
Actually, the kernel is 3.11 version. The wireless is Marvell sd8787
with the mwifiex driver. Wpa-supplicant / wpa-cli version: 2.2 and iw
tool version: 3.15.
I can connect to the wireless network, but not always connect to nearest
AP. And if go to the other AP, the device never try to connect to this
AP. It continues connected to the first AP. I think it isn't scanning
the differrents situation.
If I scan the networks manually with wpa_cli, I get the same signal
level for all the networks, -101 ??
#wpa_cli scan
#wpa_cli scan_result
Selected interface 'mlan0'
