The 12.01T1 firmware is very cool, to be sure. The 802.1q support is very very nice. But I'm talking about a specific IOS implementation. You can download it from CCO via the IOS upgrade planner. It's not in the same place as the classic Wind River based firmware, for some reason. The pricing tool has a seperate part number for IOS-based 1200 series APs and old-style-based 1200 series APs, but I can't believe that there are really significant hardware differences, especially given that cisco's been promising that current 1200 users could upgrade to IOS when it was released. >From what I can see, the IOS-based code not only presents a sane alternative to the horrible CLI/Menu config, but redesigns the web-based interface to be a bit more sensible as well. ben -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
