Core Issue
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(3)c runs on the 2811 Integrated Services Router (ISR), and it does not support the Wireless LAN Controller Module (WLCM).
The Interface WLAN-Controller 1/0 line protocol can also fail.
Resolution
Upgrade the Cisco IOS software on the 2811 ISR to Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(6)T. This enables the WLCM to be recognized on the ISR. As a temporary solution turn off the keepalive on the controller interface.
