businesses (SMBs) and enterprise branch office customers 802.11 wireless networking solutions for
Cisco 2800 and Cisco 3800 series integrated services routers (ISRs) and Cisco 3700 series routers.
Note The Cisco 2801 integrated services router does not support the Cisco WLAN controller module.
For information about which Cisco routers support the Cisco WLAN controller module, see the

Cisco WLAN controller modules ship with and boot from an installed 256-MB CompactFlash (CF)
memory card. The CompactFlash memory card contains the boot loader, Linux kernel, Cisco WLAN
controller module and access points executable file, and Cisco WLAN controller module configuration.
Note The wireless LAN controller module is supported only in network module slots. It is not supported in
EVM slots available in the Cisco 2821 and Cisco 2851 integrated services routers.
