According to Sepherosa Ziehau
rt2661's led is not programmed at all in OpenBSD.

So I guess that the LED is always on is ok.

I've done tcpdump(8) on the AP and I get no output from that while the client gets time out on the ral0 device, so I don't think the interface is flooded. Also, when the client finally gets a network connection there is no more time outs.

The problem occurs only after reboot and sometimes after 'ifconfig up'. If the device is connected to a network when I put it to sleep, it has no problem reconnecting when it wakes up.

What do you mean by 'That would indicate that the error is generated internally', firmware issue?

Thanks for the feed back.

"The bottom LED is the Ethernet activity LED. When it flashes, it
indicates that data is being transmitted or received between the server
and a network device. The flashing frequency is proportional to the
amount of traffic on the network link."

So if the LED stays ON then something might be flooding the interface
with packets [or the interface is trying to send the same packet over
and over again - beyond my knowledge]. Which might as well indicate a
software [config] problem. Did you run tcpdump(8) on that interface? Did
you reboot the device while off the net and was there still a problem?
That would indicate that the error is generated internally. I wouldn't
bet my life on an OS or hardware issue here.

I have a RT2600 also on my AP so I guess I have to get my hands on a working out-of-the-box AP to verify that it is no hardware problem.

Check the other end. I've had a similar problem with sis0 on a Soekris
(both LEDs continuously on), and it turned out to be the Vigor ADSL
modem that was in trouble.
