I was looking in the ipw2200.h header file from ipw2200-1.1.2 - but
the values are the same in version 1.1.1 of the driver, which is
present in linux-2.6.17.

#define IPW_MB_ROAMING_THRESHOLD_DEFAULT                8
#define IPW_MB_DISASSOCIATE_THRESHOLD_DEFAULT           3*IPW_MB_ROAMING_THRESHOLD_DEFAULT

Oh? Sounds interesting, where can I find these patches?
