As for updates, I saw a reference on CCO the other day for CAPWAP support in the new WLC code, I think. At least, it popped out at me when I was looking for something else. Knowing Cisco their implementation is probably only partially baked, so long as it doesn’t immediately supplant LWAPP.

I haven’t really explored commercial CAPWAP solutions recently but I have occasionally looked up Open Source options and there seems to be very little out there. This seems like something that would be ripe for development in the OS community. I don’t know enough about the nitty gritty of the specification but I would think the folks doing stuff on the WRT54G might be able to hack something together. In theory, the AP level code should be lighter, right?

Also, regarding the controller. Perhaps you don’t need an appliance controller in the traditional sense but isn’t the whole idea with CAPWAP that much of the intelligence is removed from the AP? That would imply some sort of intelligent management platform would be required. Even if you have a single AP you would still need something to manage it or if it’s self managed then it’s more like a traditional AP.

I think I’ll throw a new post up with a link to your company. Not that I know anything about them but it looks interesting!

What is the download?  The AP code or the controller code?  Or both?  That’s the problem with open source, no one puts effort into PR. 

I’d be interested to try something but I need a little more than “download this software”.
