Problem Description
This issue is caused by manufacturing process variations in one of the integrated circuits used in the access points.
The fix consists of a software change to a hardware configuration register which changes the RF parameters in the @ circuit sufficiently to insure that the circuit will continue to operate within the design specifications. This is not a user settable configuration register.
The problem only affects 1130 and 1240 series APs. It does not affect 1100 or 1200 series APs.
Background
There does not seem to be a specific combination of operations/environment that would cause the access point to get into this state. However, extreme temperatures seem to enhance the issue.
Problem Symptoms
The 2.4GHz radio in some AP1130 and AP1240 units produced after January 23, 2006 can in certain circumstances get into a state where all clients will be disassociated and the access point will no longer be able to communicate with the clients.
