John, thanks for the info. I do have a switch, but it isn't plugged in at
the moment (I took it out of the loop to help troubleshoot the network
problems, and instead ran long patch cables point-to-point [ie, from the
router to the PC with no intervening hub/switch or wiring that I'd
installed)] to eliminate variables.  I'll put the setting back to 10bT
half-duplex, but it seems that the critical factor in getting the wired
network to work with the SWC7004AWBR was to disable "automatic" sensing
and/or to disable 100bT throughout.
