    Have you looked into using HostAP Daemon? [*nix]

    http://hostap.epitest.fi/

    This driver specifically is designed to turn a wireless card into an
    access point. From there, you can bridge the connection onto the
    actual physical network to and simulate a MITM attack by sniffing all
    traffic using Ethereal, tcpdump, or your sniffer of choice! Could even
    simulate WEP or WPA using the HostAP driver or the wpa_supplicant to
    properly simulate the actual access point.

    You might be able to force connection by grabbing the MAC address of
    the original AP, and spoof the MAC address on the card, and then I can
    see cards associating with the heavier signal automatically, as it
    will assume you are a simple repeater.

    Let me know how it works!
