"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.
