The sensitivity basically controls the roaming threshold when handled by firmware. It is a firmware setting, though the Agere driver also validates the multicast rates based on it. The drivers/firmware use terms like system scale, AP density, distance between APs. There are 3 valid values: 3 - high density of APs. Maintain 11Mbps by roaming. 2 - medium density of APs. Maintain 2Mbps. 1 - low density. Maintain 1Mbps. Although the values are defined in terms of the usable bitrate, the (Intersil) documentation states that the implementation is based on SNR.
