How to force client to associate another AP

[Timo Vanhatupa]

Hi

I have done it using access control list and it seems to work.
First I set deny policy for access control list and then deny client's 
access and kick it out.

iwpriv wlan0 maccmd 2
iwpriv wlan0 addmac <mac addr>
iwpriv wlan0 kickmac <mac addr>

At least my clients seem to find their way to other APs. I would like to 
know if this does not work
with all clients.

Still I haven't figured out how to know which access points can be heard 
by the client.
Does anyone have ideas how an AP could scan/listen clients that are not 
associated with it and are on the different channel?
If this information would be available it would be easy to force clients 
to selected APs.

Best Regards,
    Timo Vanhatupa
