I cherry-picked these 3 patches on top to v3.2.0-rc6, and now it's working,
Thank you all everyone's effort;

When walking to some corner meeting rooms (but still has good
wifi connectivity, verified by another Android phone wifi ;),
the roaming may be from previous AP to none and none to next AP,
the process may need 1 to 2 minutes to be stable again, it's not
ideally swift but acceptable,
