For the skylake, powering off the switch seems to have solved the
problem. As a first step I swapped the Cat5 lead, just in case, but
the problems continued (bad enough to not be able to measure the
build of falkon which I was trying to do). Powered off the box
because it was not usable. Later I power-cycled the switch (and
also the switch for the ryzen, although I've only briefly used that
one since then). Used the skylake for soem time yeasterday, seemed
fine. Finished by suspending in case that was part of the problem.
Today I woke it, has been working fine.
Thanks again for the suggestion.
