I use a managed 24-port switch rik - not sure if it makes any difference managed/unmanaged. I don't get white noise issues from AIR from either of two PCs. However I do get dropouts with no noise from the far-more powerful PC occasionally. I've often wondered if it's related to ACPI/possible sleep-related issues but all is turned off auto-sleepwise for maximum performance and I don't get any errors in the event logs to tie in with the dropouts.
