"""Add support for background scanning to net80211 and iwm(4).
The iwm(4) driver will now roam between access points which share an SSID."""
thanks @stsp!

Why do you care about this? This makes #OpenBSD work /much/ better on a wifi network that has multiple Access Points with the same name.
Most Conferences, shopping malls, large buildings, etc, have this type of wifi network.
Previously, it would "stick" to the first Access Point that it found. Now, it will switch to a better one when the signal strength is too weak.
