Aironet 1130: Use a controller or not?
A colleague told me that whenever you want to deploy over half a dozen APs that you should use a controller rather than set up autonomous APs but he does not know why.
Cisco says: When configured with LWAPP, the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series can automatically detect the best-available Cisco wireless LAN controller and download appropriate policies and configuration information with no manual intervention.

Can someone explain why this would be better than copying an appropripriate startup-config to each of the APs running autonomously? In our network, the configs are usually stable for a long time after the access lists are debugged and even when a change is needed, it doesn't take long to apply.
