What controller are you using? You are correct - it is an IOS error. Usually the AP is not compatible with the WLC ios.

Sounds like the network connection to the AP is shot. Try a different cable, different port on the switch, or repower the device.

Did you setup and configure your Cisco aironet 350 directly from your laptop? I would verify the IP configuration on your laptop and make sure that your Default Gateway and subnet mask and DNS are set correctly. Give it a static address on the same subnet and see if it can see the router. Hope that helps!

Reason: Previous authentication no longer valid

This suggetss it has the wrong password or the wrong authenticaiton type (WEP vs WPA, for example)

It stops broadcasting the SSID? Make sure it's configured to broadcast the SSID firstly... secondly, test whether it is actually working but just not broadcasting the SSID.

Set a client PC to the same SSID and get all the parameters identical (encryption, user/pass etc). Try connecting again. If it connects then it's just the SSID that isn't working... if there is no joy, then it is just the SSID that isn't broadcasting, not the whole AP.

Also, enable some debugging for the radio0 while it is not working. It might shed some light.

if ur using IOS autonomous AP, then u'll need to configure the bvi interface to get an ip address and then enable the interface. once it has an ip, u'll need to configure the ssid, vlan, etc - choices include doing so with the CLI or web page GUI. U'll need to enable the built-in web server then u can access it via the web interface to setup the ssid, any vlans, radius, etc. good luck.

is your wireless adapter still ok? or is your wireless PC switch on? Try to check and then let me know.

Toast...looks like you killed your entire IOS installation...it will have to be reloaded to the flash...
