These were originally made with enterprise environments in mind (hospitals, office buildings, schools, etc.) and because of this, the 'regular' people off of the street won't have the controller hardware that would have been used.
But do not fret! If you don't mind some reading and a little bit of tinkering, you can get one of these set up as a standalone wireless point or a repeater in a matter of like 20 minutes. Just google "cisco 1142 lightweight to autonomous" and several pages will pop up with instructions on how to get these flashed correctly.
Keep in mind, you will need to also purchase a USB serial to RJ45 'console' cable in order to perform this process. It's not very hard and after you are done, you have a nice wireless AP that will do a really good job for a 300mbps (802.11n) product.Read full review...

All of the actual APs need a controller to operate. But this controller can be running on one of the APs itself (at least for most models).
