Matthew Wang a2c1bebd43 Improve roaming logic 
Currently, wpa_supplicant may roam too aggressively; the need_to_roam()
function will return early with a roaming decision if the difference in
signal level or throughput between the current and selected APs is
"sufficiently large." In particular, if the selected AP's estimated
throughput is more than 5k greater than the current AP's estimated
throughput, wpa_supplicant will decide to roam. Otherwise, if the
selected AP's signal level is less than the current AP's signal level,
or the selected AP's estimated throughput is at least 5k less than the
current AP's estimated throughput, wpa_supplicant will skip the roam.
These decisions are based only on one factor and can lead to poor
roaming choices (e.g., a roam should not happen if the selected AP's
estimated throughput meets the threshold but the current signal and
throughput are already good, whereas a roam should happen if the signal
is slightly worse but the estimated throughput is significantly better).

This change standardizes the roaming heuristic for signal strength
difference requirements and will hopefully improve user experience. The
change can be summarized as follows: based on the current signal level,
a certain roaming difficulty is assigned. Based on the selected AP's
estimated throughput relative to the current AP's estimated throughput,
the difficulty is adjusted up or down. If the difference in signal level
meets the threshold, a roam happens.

The hard-coded values were selected purely based on the previous version
of this function. They may eventually need to be fine-tuned for optimal
performance.

file for more instructions.


This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See
README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or
hostapd/README) for more details.

Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to
earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a
subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build
configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin
builds).
