We haven't run into that issue..... yet. (upgraded from 7.5.102.0 to 7.6.120.0 
on the 12th July) 

We did have somewhat similar issue(s) with our 1142's on 7.5 though. Not seen 
on any other AP's and all on Cisco 3750 switches. 

Radios would go into operationally down even while admin up, The main 
difference though is an reboot or shut/no shut on the radio would fix it.

We would find that over time 1 radio, then the other would fail. Sometimes this 
was hours apart, at other times days apart. Could be 2.4 or 5ghz first

The additional issue(and biggest) we had is that the controller didn't always 
recognise the failure. So in some cases the controller would see the radio is 
down and that gets alarmed in PI. However in many cases the controller still 
reported the radio as up, only by getting CLI on the AP could we see the radio 
state as down. 

No real troubleshooting was done with TAC, we identified the issue but were 
upgrading to 7.6 in a few weeks anyway. So we held out on spending 
troubleshooting time until the upgrade. Just waiting to see if the problem 
returns, so far so good it seems.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Radios Shutdown After WLC Upgrade

Hello,

Wondering if anyone else running Cisco has run into this:

After upgrading controllers from 7.4.121.0 to 7.6.120.6 about 3% (~100) of our 
AP's joined the WLC but both radios are shut down.  If you try to re-enable the 
radios via the WLC or directly SSH'ed to the AP they auto-disable again.  
Disabling, and re-enabling the switchport does nothing, and rebooting the AP 
does nothing.  Intentionally disabling one radio on the AP does not help 
either.  The switch shows it is providing 15.4 watts of PoE.

We are split evenly between 1142's, 3500's, and 3600's and have mostly Cisco 
switches, but have only seen the issue on some 1142 series AP's, and some 
Foundry PoE switches.  In some cases another 1142 is working fine on the same 
switch, and if we walk over and connect another 1142 it works fine on the same 
port.  The current work-around is to move AP's back to a WLC on 7.4 code.

I have a TAC case open, and 7.6.120.6 is a special build but we were encouraged 
to go to it in order to avoid the catastrophic web-auth, and severe RADIUS-NAC 
bugs.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,
