It's not a regular occurance though, and the link never actually comes up.  I wonder if there could be some conflict between the Netgear interface and my Asante switch.

Perhaps so. I get this (though the link usually does finally stay up)
with both of the SMC cards that I have tried with my Linksys switch. On
the other hand, my Linksys card always comes up on the first try with
the Linksys switch. Unfortunately, it's also 25% slower than the SMC
cards :-(
