Thanks for your help but understand this is not necessarily a solution;
just the addition of a knob. The linux driver already used 7
consecutive beacon misses to trigger roaming so I'm not sure why 10 is
an improvement but given that adding 300ms (typical) lag makes you happy
I wasn't going to argue :)
