Tim, What WCS report did you run to get these up/down events?

Last year, we were seeing a lot of APs flopping up and down as they changed channels or power levels (per the consultant) for no reason. At that time, we upgraded to 5.2.148.0 and the issues mostly went away, and the ones that remained we were able to work around and planned to replace those APs in our next budget cycle. Our consultant indicated that there are still some issues with this with the new code and old APs. Today, we ran a report of all the 'down/up' events for all the APs and we had around 350 over the last 12 hours. We have around 200 APs, so that average seems to be high. That leads to two questions: 1) Does anyone know of a way to make the report indicated WHY it went 'down/up'? 2) How many times do you see your APs changing channels? My thought is that dynamically they should be changing all the time as load and interference change, but I can't find any documentation to address that. Thanks!
