Issue the command on the AP: clear lwapp private

Delete the FULL IOS (and let the AP boot the RCV image).

This is what I see on the console:

examining image...

*Mar 1 00:00:46.723: %LWAPP-5-CHANGED: LWAPP changed state to JOIN

*Oct 6 23:34:25.133: %LWAPP-5-CHANGED: LWAPP changed state to IMAGE

*Oct 6 23:34:31.132: LWAPP_CLIENT_ERROR_DEBUG: Retransmission count for packet

, 1)

This all started when I had network trouble when bootingan AP...

If this was working before and not now. I might suggest stepping down to ios and then back to lwapp

Turns out I had network disruption during a WLC firmware upgrade so the IOS image on the WLC was corrupt - just re-flashed the controller and all is fixed.
