1. A wireless apparatus having a wireless communication port configurable using a profile selected from a plurality of profiles dependent on an environmental context to connect with an access point, comprising:

  • a wireless communication port configured to acquire a representation of its environmental context;

    a traversal rules base storing a plurality of traversal rules sets, each traversal rules set governing selection of a wireless profile and comprising contextual criteria;

    a profile database storing a plurality of available wireless profiles for configuring the wireless communication port to enable operation with an access point; and

    a profile selection module configured to;

    select a selected traversal rules set from the plurality of traversal rules sets by comparing the representation of the environmental context of the wireless communication port to the contextual criteria of the traversal rules sets,identify a desired profile from the available wireless profiles stored in the profile database by traversing profiles stored in the profile database according to the selected traversal rules set, andconfigure the wireless communication port to operate according to the desired profile so as to enable operation with the access point.
