Got lots of good suggestions.  Tried adding "spanning-tree portfast
trunk" and that definitely helps the the AP get the correct IP address
from the native VLAN, but as soon as i add in a second AP, i get a
spanning-tree loop and one of the ports gets disabled.  If i remove the
command above, then i get random IP addresses from different VLANs.
