Wireless outof range won't reconnect
I'm trying to make my ubuntu reconnect to my wireless network when it's in range.
All the network settings are static.
essid doesn't change
however when I get back in range without:
"iwconfig wlan0 essid tandem"
the connection won't be re-established.
is there anyway to fix it?
Just read an article explaining about "roaming". is it possible without network manager?
tried messing around with 70-persistent-net-rules with no luck.
Desperately need help.
How do i make my wlan0 to be in this mode?

mapping hotplug
script /etc/network/essidscan
map SSIDONE wlan-work
map SSIDTWO wlan-work
map HOME
iface wlan-work inet dhcp
wireless-key 1234-5678-9ABC-DEF0-1234-5678-9A
wireless-keymode restricted
iface HOME inet static
address 192.168.2.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
