I was wondering if there was anyway to change the aggressiveness of wireless roaming between access points of the same SSID in ubuntu like there is in windows, I often times find that when I walk downstairs in my house that I have an awful wireless signal even though I'm basically next to an access point, so I have a feeling that its not switching access points when I move. I am running ubuntu 12.04 right now.
I am having problems with wireless connections when I start my computer back up from standby after a while of it being in standby, and sometimes regular power up from full off as well though less often. The problem is that when connecting to the networks it will not connect and keep asking me for my login information over and over again.
One sort of fix that I found, but it doesn't work all the time, is to switch to a different network that I don't have on my network list already try to connect to that wait for it to fail then switch back to the network I really wanted and it seems to get the connection, however again this only sometimes works.
So I'm wondering if this is a known problem or if its just me. LSPCI below:

On Ubuntu 11.10
I was wondering if there was anyway that I could lock the volume control for a user because I have a computer hooked up to a sound system but if the computer does any amplification at all i.e. above 50% volume then it sounds distorted on the speakers. So I would like to lock in the computer volume at 50% for one if not all users at 50% and just use the control board its plugged into to control the volume.
And help would be awesome thanks.
