From the back of my mind, old iwconfig set sensitivity was used with some Orininco cards (Hermes Chips) that could associate and roam themselves. So called "full-mac" cards, which are now a bit out of fashion (except on phones/embedded devices). mac80211 based cards cannot do associate/roam by themselves. They just send and receive 802.11 packets. Association and roaming is being done at different levels, e.g. mac80211. So, if you want to roam with a mac80211 based card, you'll need to use wpa_supplicant (even when using WEP), e.g. with some of the bgscan modules. Now you're using mesh, and here I don't have enought knowledge. Probably the mesh implementation will have it's own tool to set mesh properties, or?
