I have found that Windows does not do a great job here (okay, they fail
miserably).
However, I have found that the WiFi profile managers value-added by the
laptop vendors do a surprisingly much better job.
For instance, the WiFi session manger bundled with IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads will

Thanks on the spelling correction.
I've tried both the Windows configuration approach and the card's wireless

are no broadcast SSIDs present that are on my preferred list. However it

An issue with the Proxim AP-4000's and multiple wireless networks was also
documented on this listserv in November. I'm guessing each ESSID uses the
same BSSID (or MAC address), which might be causing confusion for some
wireless clients. Most modern enterprise AP's support at least 16 unique

To minimize disruption we're looking at running a new 802.1x wireless
network in parallel with the old VPN-protected network.
What we're seeing isn't so pretty. Very unreliable getting a connection
