[PATCH] ipw2200: wireless extension sensitivity threshold support
The patch allows the user to set the handover threshold, i.e. the number of consecutively missed beacons that will trigger a roaming attempt. The disassociation threshold is set to 3 times the handover threshold.

390The 'iwconfig ethX sens XX' command will not set the signal sensitivity
391threshold, as described in iwconfig documentation, but rather the number
392of consecutive missed beacons that will trigger handover, i.e. roaming
393to another access point. At the same time, it will set the disassociation
394threshold to 3 times the given value.
