I entered a report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29042

Since this is for a different driver to yours I thought it was
appropriate for it to have a separate bz.

Seems that support for both the sensitivity parameter as well as tx
power varies a lot between drivers - some are good and others less so!
 However my original posts on the problem with NetworkManager were it
seems misplaced, mainly due to my own lack of knowledge that the
issues I was seeing were not due to a fault in NM, or indeed
wpa_supplicant, but in fact due to limited support for the necessary
functions in the drivers that supported the wireless chipsets in the
laptops I was using.  If you have the well-supported chipsets then the
issues I had with good choice of initial connection, and also when
attempting to roam APs with the same ssid would work well - provided
the setup of configs for wireless is done carefully and correctly!
