[c-nsp] Cisco Wireless VOIP IP phone issue

[Zach Hill]

Sorry but this isn't a wireless coverage issue. Doing wireless mapping it
nver drops below -65dB walking throughout the entire building. Laptops and
various other wirless network devices poll often enough to switch between
the access points as to never lose full bars. The Cisco IP Phones are the
only devices with issues.

Based on my findings the IP Phones do not try and switch to the
nearest/strongest access-point often enough.
