1. A system implemented in at least one of a non-transitory medium with instructions for execution on a processing device, a processing device or a combination thereof, comprising: a convergence engine configured to receive a request for a high level message from a high level engine (HLE);the convergence engine configured to monitor a plurality of 802.11 messages provided by a network interface to a management engine (ME), the high level message being a message from the plurality of messages;the convergence engine configured to filter the high level message from the plurality of messages, the high level message comprises a list of networks; the convergence engine configured to forward the high level message to the HLE in response to the request; andthe convergence engine configured to receive from the HLE an instruction to associate with a network that is from the list of networks and that is selected by the HLE. 2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a media access controller configured to be coupled to the network interface and coupled to the ME, the media access controller configured to receive a message from the network interface and provides the message to the ME. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the convergence engine is further configured to monitor messages passed between the ME, the media access controller (MAC) and the network interface. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the convergence engine is configured to filter the high level message from the plurality of messages, the convergence engine is further configured to filter messages having a high level of importance from the plurality of messages. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the convergence engine configured to filter the high level message from the plurality of messages, the convergence engine is further configured to filter out messages regarding network portal level connectivity from the plurality of messages. 6. A method comprising: receiving a plurality of messages from a network interface;filtering a high level message, the high level message being a message from the plurality of messages, the filtering including filtering out messages regarding network portal level connectivity, the high level message including a list of networks; andproviding the high level message to a high level engine. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of messages are 802.11 messages. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of messages are received by monitoring the messages as they are passed to a management engine by a network interface. 9. The method of claim 6, wherein the filtering the high level message further comprises the high level message having a high level of importance. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of messages are a first plurality of messages, the method further comprising: monitoring a second plurality of messages passed between a management engine (ME), a media access controller (MAC) and the network interface, the first plurality of messages being included in the second plurality of messages. 11. A system implemented in at least one of a non-transitory medium with instructions for execution on a processing device, a processing device or a combination thereof, comprising: a convergence engine (CE) configured to receive a request from a high level engine (HLE) for a list of networks in range of a network interface;the CE configured to send an instruction, in response to the request, to a management engine to (1) perform one or more scan requests for network portals in range of the network interface, (2) define a list of network portals, and (3) define a list of distinct networks based on the list of network portals;the CE configured to receive the list of distinct networks from the management engine;the CE configured to provide the list of distinct networks to the HLE as a response to the request from the HLE; andthe CE configured to receive from the HLE an instruction to associate with a network that is from the distinct list of networks and that is selected by the HLE. 12. The system of claim 11, further comprising the HLE configured to be coupled to the CE. 13. A method comprising: receiving, at a high level engine, an indication of a waning network connection from a convergence engine;requesting, by the high level engine, a list of networks in range of a network interface from the convergence engine, the list of networks based on one or more portal level scans such that the convergence engine define the list of networks by sorting the one or more portal level scans by network;selecting, by the high level engine, a network from the list of networks to transition to; andinstructing, by the high level engine, the convergence engine to associate with the selected network. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising identifying, by the convergence engine, a target network portal associated with the selected network. 15. A method comprising: identifying a waning network connection;transmitting a message to a high level engine indicating the waning connection;receiving a reply message from the high level engine including an instruction to define a list of available networks;transmitting a message to the high level engine including the list of available networks, the message not including a plurality of portal level connectivity messages;receiving an instruction from the high level engine to join a new network from the list of networks, and selected by the high level engine from the list of networks;selecting a network portal providing access to the new network from a plurality of network portals associated with the new network; andtransitioning to the new network via the network portal. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the waning connection is to an 802.11 network and the new network is not an 802.11 network. 17. The method of claim 15 wherein the waning network connection is associated with a first connection device, the method further comprising, receiving a message including an instruction to activate a second connection device in response to receiving the instruction from the high level engine to join the new network. 18. The method of claim 15 wherein the waning network connection is associated with a first network interface, the method further comprising, activating a second network interface in response to receiving the instruction from the high level engine to join the new network. 19. The method of claim 15 wherein the waning network connection is associated with a first connection device, the method further comprising, activating a second connection device in response to receiving the instruction from the high level engine to join the new network.
