The decision is made by userspace (the driver is not involved).
In almost all cases this will be done by some sort of 
"wpa_supplicant" (either directly, or through networkmanager, wicd, ...).

In wpa_supplicant itself, the network is usually picked from a 
priority list (see function "wpa_supplicant_pick_network" in
wpa_supplicant/events.c)
