Hello All,

Doing the firmware upgrade on a 1041n AP from Autonomous to Lightweight. Downloaded from Cisco, checked MD5 and got a match so went and upgraded.  Upgrade went find etc.. and rebooted.  When I reboot I get the following error and then rubbish text

I rolled back to the autonomous OS and all ok and AP operates as normal.  When on the lightweight IOS I can get a telnet response but cannot access as it states Password require but not set.

Followed this process to upgrade

and followed this process to restore to Autonomous:

I have no idea why it's not working.  Anyone else seen this?

Thanks

Dave

Update:      Just tried another AP same result.

                  Downloaded Lightweight again and same result

Here is the CLI upgrade process

Never seen this happen before.

But the WAP is able to join the controller and download the correct IOS, so far, so good.  But try to let it join and download the config, that's another question.
