Hi !
I've got a problem with Cisco Access Point 1242AG.
MODEL : Cisco AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9.
IOS : C1240-K9W7-M version 12.4(10b)JA release software (fc2).
I would like to design this topology :
PC1---[AP1]* * *[AP2]---PC2
AP1 is "ROOT BRIDGE" (called GAUCHE in my cfg) and AP2 is "NON-ROOT BRIDGE" (called DROITE in my cfg).
I made my own configuration, but It doesn't work.
Here is the problem :
1) When the access point are powered up, they cannot associate. I have these error messages :
From AP1 :
==========

2) If I switch the AP2 from "NON-ROOT BRIDGE" to "WORKGROUP-BRIDGE", the Access Points are associating themself, and I get these messages :
From AP1 :

*Mar 1 00:02:10.008: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to up
3) After this, I switch again the AP2 from "WORKGROUP-BRIDGE" to "NON-ROOT BRIDGE" and the association stay ...
I Get these messages :

DROITE(config-if)#
If I reload the Access Points, they lost association, and they cannot associate again... I need to do the "non-root bridge to Workgroup-bridge to non-root bridge" switching manually before having association again.
Do you know if It's a BUG ?
Do you know how I can resolve this ?
I Join in attachments my configurations...
AP1 is "GAUCHE"
AP2 is "DROITE"
Thanks in advance.
