Hi,

Once it connects, netman will not try to change connection unless it
fails. The backend first reads the available signal strengths, then it
reads what essids are installed, and finally, it tries to connect by
first trying the strongest wifi source if that is available in the
essid files. This is done in descending strength order.

Unstable signal strengths will not affect netman's behaviour a
connection remains valid until it disconnects. In such a case, the
user can intervene manually to connect by clicking a button. This to
avoid having netman become a nuisance trying to automatically connect
with unstable connections.

As with all KISS software, the user is always at the helm: which
means, users can override what netman chooses to connect with. The
procedure is as simple as:
a) disconnect from unwanted wifi source
b) connect to wanted wifi source
