Connect a 4404 to a 3350 switch

All,
Never worked with wireless other thank my Netgear before and I find myself helping a friend today on her CCNA wireless.
I am setting up a Cisco 4402 WLC to connect to a Cisco 3550 switch here in a lab. When I directly connect my laptop I get physically connectivity fine. But when I attempt to plug into a switch I get nothing. No lights or anything. I tried another switch jut to be sure. Same thing.
I am GUESSING there is some sort of trunking going on that I need to configure or some CDP setting I need to tweak. Any reason you guys can think that I would not be getting layer 1 connectivity here? tried a cross over cable as well, thought it might be a MDI thing. Nope.

I haven't deployed a WLC in a couple of years so I don't remember the exact details. You can try googling it there were plenty of walk throughs.
