AP3935i error message "BEACON_EVENT_SWBA_SEND_FAILED"

[Brian_Harmon]

We are deploying 3935i access points and having issues. Many of them are showing an error in the ap.log "BEACON_EVENT_SWBA_SEND_FAILED"

It looks to me like a firmware issue. Any idea what it really means?

[Brian_Harmon]

We were on 10.01.04 firmware, went back to 10.01.03 but no change. After the "Beacon Event" msg starts the access point reboots.

Intermittent messages usually ok if no other symptoms. If there is a flood, then there may be an issue.

Would be nice to see the ap.log to see the msg in context. Can get that from logs->ap traces->select the ap and retrieve trace.
