Access Point Image Preload via the WLC CLI

George Stefanick has a great post outlining the ins and outs of how to get your APs to pre-download their software image so you can reboot them at your leisure. His post saved me a lot of legwork digging through the latest configuration guide for the steps necessary to enable this time saving feature (that was originally a bug!).

Thanks George for parsing this information out of the Cisco documentation and presenting it for us in a manner that is easy to read, understand, and implement on our own wireless networks.

@wirelesssguru @JenniferLucille Yes, going from 7.0.98 to 7.0.116 was messed up, going from 7.0.116 to 7.0.230 worked, haven't tried to 7.2
