Hello!
I have a Cisco 881W that will no longer boot/operate properly if the internal radio card is installed.
If the card is installed, all I get is the following...
System Bootstrap, Version 12.4(22r)YB5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

C880 platform with 262144 Kbytes of main memory
Readonly ROMMON initialized
rommon 1 >
if I do a dev I get nothing. If I do a dir flash: I get "bad device name". My cookie shows FF in all positions.
BUT......
If I remove the entire WiFi Radio card (both boards), then It boots fine, cookie appears intact, devs appear, IOS loads, just without the WAP.
Any chance this is a matter of a file getting deleted or corrupted or is this certainly bad hardware? The router sans Wifi appears fully functional.
Thanks!
