- Basically standard capwap controller discovery methods can be used to find the EWC controller , such as DHCP option 43 (usually used). Indeed the EWC controller needs to get provisioned with an external tftp server to provide AP images. If problems persist after doing all of this then boot the complete AP boot process ,

I think @Mark Elsen meant post the complete boot process <smile>
Connect a console to the AP then connect power. Capture everything on the console and save to a text file then attach here so we can see what it happening.
Is the AP connected to the same vlan/subnet as the EWC?
