*yes* - you'll notice in the release notes... a special section that
talks about upgrading, and asks you to run those commands ;-)

That's weird.

 - any further error msgs on the logs?
 - maybe the XS is connected to the AP with a straight cable? You

 - if you connect a laptop to it via a crossover, can it get a dhcp lease?
 - maybe the AP is doing NAT? -
