I believe most APs support this feature - even Minitars support it.  I 
forget the actual technical name of the box that appears in the web 
interface that needs to be ticked, but it is roaming.  I'm not sure if it's 
possible to offer roaming across APs from different manufacturers - it may 
be if they support the aforementioned standard (not really a standard 
though.)

I suggested this a while ago, but people told me it would be too 
complicated.  There are no real rules one way or another anyway regarding 
SSIDs.  And in general, MW APs are too sparse to offer roaming.
