Subject: Fix the behavior of preferring weaker-but-still-good 5Ghz APs over
X-Git-Url: http://artulab.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a90e20dc4e9fb10689eb6c88d509b3952d06ac78;p=openbsd

Fix the behavior of preferring weaker-but-still-good 5Ghz APs over
2Ghz APs because the 5Ghz band is generally less saturated.

The previous implementation was dependent upon the order of walking
APs.
