Kalevi,

The error message is usually the result of the driver not being
completely set up. Most of the time it's due to IRQ conflicts and
simple BIOS settings can make it go away.
Run /sbin/lspci -v and look for suspicious values like IRQ being 0.
Look through the kernel logs (/sbin/dmesg) for errors, and you can also
manually /sbin/rmmod and /sbin/insmod the network driver to look for
problems.
