Hello, My customer have Ap's AIR-AP1042N-T-K9 models, and need to convert LWAP to use them on a controller, but needs an official Cisco documentation to perform.
I found many posts with the statement that this is possible, but no official document from Cisco.
Someone already made this conversion successfully and found that documentation?
Thanks

How to convert:
First download image from here: http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=283445229&flowid=17961&softwareid=284180979&release=15.2.4-JB5&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=ED&reltype=latest

Go and download the CAPWAP IOS (called Recovery Image) from the Cisco website.
Unpack the IOS into the AP using the command "archive download-sw tftp://[TFTP IP address]/filename.tar".
Boot the AP.
Make sure you have enabled DHCP Option 43 and/or 60 so it'll be easy to get your AP to find the WLC.
