What's "roaming mode" in Ubuntu 7.10?

It's in the network menu, I have the choice of roaming mode, but what the hell is it?

It scans for wireless networks, you can select which one you want from a list. If you switch to manual, you have to enter the network SSID you want and your computer will only connect to that network.

Ahh, ok. I was on a computer without a wifi adaptor, so I was a little confused.
