Subject: Deferral of Cisco WLC software version 7.5.102.0.

Hi folks,

Cisco-using colleagues running a 7.5 release train on their controllers may 
wish to know
that we have recently deferred the release due a discovered hardware 
incompatibility with the
memory driver in that release for controller units built after April 2012 
(before that date
are unaffected).

While the trigger point is a rare set of circumstances, the affect is dramatic 
as the
memory becomes permanently unreachable at POST in a crash/reload loop that 
cannot be fixed
other than through an RMA of the hardware unit.

The bug ID is CSCul68057 (CF driver change for 5508/WiSM2/2504) and colleagues 
with
a cisco.com<http://cisco.com> login can read the details in the Bug Toolkit at 
this link:
https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCul68057

There is not going be a rebuild of 7.5, with the recommended upgrade path being 
to go
to 7.6, which has no implications for hardware model support of either 
controllers or APs.
Only Prime Infrastructure (where used) would need to add patch 1 to v1.4 to 
support 7.6.

I am not aware of any UK university customer that has been affected by this 
myself yet, but
in the interests of trying to avoid any problem before it were to manifest 
itself - felt it
was worth reaching out proactively in this case.

Apologies for the spam to the non-Cisco-using colleagues on the list but I 
thought this
one was worth sharing to those affected so that any upgrade remediation change 
control
window can be planned.

Regards,
Paul
