Any reason the two access points don't have the same SSID?
That's the
normal roaming case. If you control them, make both have
the same SSID
and put them on different channels. That's what 'roaming'
really is in
the strictest sense, being able to move between coverage in
the _same_
system. You've got it set up as two different systems.

The way you have it now (with different SSIDs) you probably
want
ap_scan=1 to let wpa_supplicant try to control scanning. If
you use
ap_scan=2 the card & driver will control the roaming,
which will only
work if you had both aps on the same SSID.
Furthermore, are both APs on the same network? Or are they
physically
separate LANs? Because if they are separate, you'll need to
do a DHCP
after each connection attempt because your IP address can't
necessarily
transfer over to a different network. And then that's not
really
seamless roaming any more.
