Working as advertised. I assume that there is nothing plugged into the Quartet card. I think it gives up after a while if it doesn't detect any connection at either 10mbit or 100mbit -- ifconfig down/up resets the autodetect sequence. If you're going to do this a lot fix the media type with ifconfig or the setup program. We have several of these cards and need to test them, but a Kingston card based on the same chip does the same thing.
