Do they have the same SSID?  Doesn't NetworkManager disconnect you when
you move out of range of one SSID?  When you're disconnected, NM should
scan more frequently.

So is the case that you are _still_ in the coverage of SSID A, but you
have now moved into the area SSID B (A and B overlap), but you want to
switch off A move to B immediately when B is in range?
