Disable Radios to Prevent Unexpected Reboot When Upgrading System Software
If your access point runs Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)JA or 12.2(11)JA1, your access point might
unexpectedly reboot after you upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(13)JA4. Because of a rare timing
condition that affects the radios, the access point sometimes reboots immediately after the upgrade when
the radios are enabled. However, after the access point reboots the upgrade is complete and the access
point operates normally. To prevent the access point from rebooting unexpectedly, disable the radio
interfaces before upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(13)JA4. See the
