I suffer from the dreaded "reason=0" when I move inside my house:

	> scan
	OK
	<3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 
	<3>Trying to associate with 6c:3b:6b:3d:a2:e9 (SSID='Palombia' freq=2452 MHz)
	<3>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=6c:3b:6b:3d:a2:e9 reason=0
	<3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 
	<3>Trying to associate with 6c:3b:6b:ab:ce:d4 (SSID='Palombia' freq=2412 MHz)
	<3>Associated with 6c:3b:6b:ab:ce:d4

a2:e9 is the loudest AP here in my office, but my I have been in the
other end of the house iwn consistently fails to associate with it and
and keeps picking the weaker AP in the far end.

Eventually (hours!) it disconnects from the weaker ap, also with
"reason=0" and gets it right:

	<3>WPA: Group rekeying completed with 6c:3b:6b:ab:ce:d4 [GTK=CCMP]
	<3>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=6c:3b:6b:ab:ce:d4 reason=0
	<3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 
	<3>Trying to associate with 6c:3b:6b:3d:a2:e9 (SSID='Palombia' freq=2452 MHz)
	<3>Associated with 6c:3b:6b:3d:a2:e9
	<3>WPA: Key negotiation completed with 6c:3b:6b:3d:a2:e9 [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP]
	<3>CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 6c:3b:6b:3d:a2:e9 completed [id=3 id_str=]
	<3>WPA: Group rekeying completed with 6c:3b:6b:3d:a2:e9 [GTK=CCMP]

And yes, working roaming would be nice too...
