First let's get the obvious out in the open. I am new to Cisco and even more dense apparently when it comes to wireless. I finally for the darn BVI to load and I upgraded the firmware to a lightweight version now knowing what it was. I can not figure out how to get it to work as an ap (guessing it is looking for a controller I do not have) or get a new image onto the darn thing. Anyone know how I could possibly get myself back to an autonomous IOS? I have tried all I can think of and I just can not figure it out.

You're not going to believe me if say the method is to format the flash of the AP (Command: format flash:) and then reboot the router.
The autonomous IOS for the built-in AP is located in a separate partition of the flash of the router. Once the router boots up and finds out the AP doesn't have an IOS, the router will upload the autonomous IOS independently.

I sure will try it. Thanks.

Format the flash directory of the AP (and leave the router alone). Once the APs flash has been formatted, reboot the router.

I have no ability to use a format command on the ap. I have tried to delete what I can however I am still getting the lightweight ap ios loading. Any thoughts as to how I can get it blown out? I had even tried to format the flash on the router and reload the ios.. no luck.

Do this:
debug capwap console cli
format flash:

However quick question. We are formatting on the router or the wlan-ap 0 end?
