We've got several Cisco 1200 AP's set up throughout our 6-floor building (same SSID's, different channels, WEP enabled). Axim's have no problem connecting, acquiring IP's and syncing data wirelessly. However, when a user walks from the front of the building to the rear, 5th floor to the 4th or otherwise roams between AP's, the connection is dropped and isn't reconnected until the user soft-resets or enables/disables their WiFi (with the button on the side).

I called Dell Axim support this morning and they said this was "normal" and that transparent channel-hopping simply doesn't work on Axim's; you must disable/enable or soft-reset. Has that been your experience as well? Is there any way around this? I'm having trouble finding any resources on the net that categorically state whether or not seamless roaming is possible.
