If you're not seeing any information in the FreeRADIUS debug, then the Ruckus controller isn't sending anything. If you enable RADIUS accounting on the Ruckus you *may* get an Accounting-Request with the Acct-Terminate-Cause, which may give you a clue as to what's happening.

First though I would enable debugging logs on the controller to see if it's complaining about the Access-Accept coming back, it may be missing some attributes that the Ruckus controller needs.

I'd also verify the Access-Accept is actually reaching the controller (maybe dodgy routing).

It may also be that the Ruckus requires a Message-Authenticator in the Access-Accept, in which case inserting:

update reply {
	Message-Authenticator = 0x00 
}

Should trigger its generation.

I'd also try:

update reply {
	Service-Type = Framed-User
}

(some NAS require a service type).

The delay suggests that the Ruckus may be discarding the responses from the RADIUS server, or never actually received the response. Do you see the request sent multiple times?
