3802 IOS Question

I have a 3802 that is currently running Mobility Express to act as a controller.

Does ME replace the traditional IOS?

I ask this because when I do a "show version" on the AP itself (not the controller) it just returns the ME version not the IOS version.

Is there any need or way to update the IOS on the underlying APs?

I'd like to update or at least check to see if the underlying APs are running the latest IOS (ap3g3-k9w8-tar.153-3.JD at this time).

Right, that's what i was getting at; The ME image will take care of the underlying IOS image for the APs.

Thanks.

Gotcha.
When I look at the download page for the 3800 series AP it shows ap3g3-k9w8-tar.153-3.JD as the lightweight image. You're saying this would only be before the AP joins a controller, right?

That is correct. If the AP's
