Infrastructure Wireless LAN for Roaming Wireless PCs

The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communications domain for each access 
point and its associated wireless clients. For wireless PCs that do not need to 
support roaming, set the Service Set Identifier (SSID) for the wireless card to 
the BSS ID of the access point to which you want to connect.

Check with your administrator for the BSS ID of the access point to which you 
should connect. A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile 
workers. More than one access point can be configured to create an Extended 
Service Set (ESS). By placing the access points so that a continuous coverage 
area is created, wireless users within this ESS can roam freely. All HP wireless 
network cards and adapters and access points within a specific ESS must be 
configured with the same SSID.
