We have upgraded our three WISMs and 450 APs from 5.2.178.0 to 6.0.182.0. The only issue we have found is different APs change channels at different times. When I look at the logs and "Airewave Director" debugs, the channel changes always happen because of interferences. The reason seems reasonable because of the interference. But why it didn't happen before in 5.2.178? Is the 6.0 code more aggressive in detecting interferences? Has anybody seen this behavior as well?

Pretty much everything (bug fix wise) that was put in 5.2.193 was rolled into 6.0.182.0. I've been working with Cisco WNBU for about a year on various items, especially the radio code, and the last engineering build I had (what 5.2.193 is based on) was rock solid. As soon as 6.0.182.0 was released, I immediately moved to it as I have plans to introduce the 5508 controllers into my mix and I also wanted to leverage/test the new "Client Link" (Legacy client beam forming). Again, given the history between the two builds, I expected no issues, and that's been the case. I have to say that both 6.0.182.0 and 5.2.193 represent a major turning point in the quality of Cisco's code. The development teams really focused on improving the radio code quality as well as stomping out critical bugs within the controllers. WCS also got a lot of attention including a much improved user interface. Both builds offer vastly improved radio code for the 1252 and 1142 802.11n APs. If you have these in your environment, then this new code is worth it. Given the choice, I'd go to 6.0.182.0. It's as stable as 5.2.193 but you get all the new features and WCS improvements. best, Jeff >>> Dennis Xu <[email protected]> 08/05/09 7:15 AM >>> Has anybody upgraded to WiSM 6.0.182.0?
