We had a similar problem years ago. We use PowerDsine midspan power inserters for our AP power (they come in 6, 12, & 24-port versions so they are cheaper than buying power for a whole Cisco switch or blade when only a few ports need power; management is also easy via a Web interface). In order for them to power the old 1200 APs, we had to buy a special dongle from PowerDsine to make them work. You may have the same issue.

When connecting our old 1200 series AP's to the switch via POE, the switch interface just keeps flashing. Is this because the old AP's use the old pre-standard POE? Our new 1142 series AP's connect just fine. Is there any way to have the older AP's use the newer POE through the switch port?
