Sure... they get converted depending on teh code runnign on the WLC. Newer code is capwap and older code is LWAPP.

Here is more info:

Access Point Communication Protocols

In controller software release 5.2 or later, Cisco lightweight access points use the IETF standard Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points protocol (CAPWAP) to communicate between the controller and other lightweight access points on the network. Controller software releases prior to 5.2 use the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) for these communications.

Thanks,

Scott
