It sounds like either a faulty cable, a loose cable (i.e. not plugged in securely), or failed autonegotiation, or the port on the switch or WAP has somehow become disabled. Since that model of WAP has auto-crossover capability, using a crossover or regular network cable would be irrelevant. What kind of switch are you plugging it into? Cisco switches, for example, can have MAC restrictions or othe security features. I would replace the cable with a known good one first, and examine the log on the WAP as well as the switch (if it's a manageable switch). Let me know how you make out and we can do some further testing if you'd like.
