Subject: via-rhine probe failed

Hello,

I recently received a D-Link DFE-530TX that I put in a debian box, but
it's not working.
lspci -nn shows the card as :
00:0d.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105
[Rhine-III] [1106:3106] (rev 86)

and in dmesg, I see :
via-rhine.c:v1.10-LK1.4.3 2007-03-06 Written by Donald Becker
via-rhine: Broken BIOS detected, avoid_D3 enabled.
--
Invalid MAC address
via-rhine: probe of 0000:00:0d.0 failed with error -5

I'm using the 2.6.21.1 kernel, and was previously using debian kernel
2.6.18-4, where I had the same errors, except the "Broken BIOS" bit.

I also found this : http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/7/11/154
but I'm not sure if it's the same problem.

I'm attaching output of dmesg and lspci -nn, but I would be glad to
provide any additional informations.

Thanks, XC
