Cisco Cisco Aironet 340 Ethernet Bridges

Cisco Aironet Access Points are wireless LAN transceivers that can act as the center point of a 
standalone wireless network or as the connection point between wireless and wired networks. Cisco 
Aironet Wireless Bridges are wireless LAN transceivers that connect two or more remote networks into 
a single LAN. 

Do not install firmware version 8.65_2 for bridges and access points on workgroup bridges that are 
running firmware version 8.37 or earlier. To upgrade the firmware on a workgroup bridge, use 
firmware version 8.65_2 for workgroup bridges. 

You must have a 340, 500, or 4800 series bridge or a 4800 series access point to install firmware version 
8.65_2.

Your bridge or access point must have version 7.0 or later to upgrade to version 8.65_2.
