NetVanta 1335 PoE W/AP internal AP firmware

We have a NetVanta 1335 Poe with integrated wireless Access Point. It has served us well for some years.

A couple of weeks ago we bought a NetVanta 160 to extend wireless coverage. I had trouble setting it up, so I upgraded its factory firmware (9950515-2A170401.biz) to R10.9.2 Enhanced.

Afterwards the NetVanta 160 worked fine but the internal Access Point for the 1335 did not. The internal AP appeared under control but did not react to configuration changes.

The internal AP is shown as a NetVanta 150, so I decided to also update its firmware to 1.0.0.C Standard via the GUI.

Now it doesn't work. It displays correctly the MAC address, with status 'Unknown' and control status 'N/A'. It does receive packets but does not transmit.

Version:          FW: 0.0 0.0, DRVR: 0.0 0.1, HW: 0.0 0.0

Serial Number:    -

Capabilities:     -

Radio Information:

Index  Type       State     Channel   Mode          Radio MAC

-----  ---------  --------  --------  ------------  --------------------

2      802.11a    DISABLED  0 Best    AP            00:00:00:00:00:00

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also I get the message "2002.06.11 07:09:49 DOT11.Configure  : AP 1 : AP in recovery state" every 22 seconds.

I have tried reverting the NetVanta 1335 firmware back to the original but the problem remains with the internal Access Point.

I cannot revert the firmware because I don't have the original one. Apart from that the GUI shows "Upload Status:  Not Ready for Upload" on the Access Point Firmware Upgrade section, I don't know if it would work via CLI.

My guess is that the firmware I installed is only for the "external" NetVanta 150. I wrongly assumed it was the correct one as it has the exact same model number. Before upgrading I read the release notes and the proper documentation and I couldn't find any indication that it was the wrong firmware, nor any other firmware for an "internal" NetVanta 150.

How can I obtain a proper firmware for the internal Access Point and upload it?

Based on the output, it looks like the firmware upgrade didn't take.
