[regression] Fails to detect ethernet card (VT6105 via-rhine)

System has Gigabyte GA-71XE motherboard which has no ethernet interface. There is a separate D-Link PCI ethernet card, which Kubuntu 6.06 fails to detect during boot from live CD. In /var/log/syslog have:

via-rhine: probe of 0000:00:0c failed with error -16

Everything works perfectly with Mandrake 10.2.
