Current via-rhine drivers have a module option to fix this:
via-rhine.avoid_D3=1
For older kernes there's a patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/9/17/242
I was sure it wouldn't hurt to ask on this ML...
Next question : where should I put this ?

says I should insert it in the initrd, but it's a bit difficult in my case (the same kernel/initrd is shared by many clients)...
Clients which do not have a via_rhine card will ignore the parameter. So it's safe to enable it for all clients.
I'd try to insert it on the PXE kernel command-line, but it's explicitely ignored by the kernel : ml6000 kernel: Unknown boot option `via_rhine.avoid_D3=1': ignoring ...or implicitely, when I just add "avoid_D3=1" (ie. PXE does not boot after the next shutdown)
You would use "via_rhine.avoid_D3=1" if the driver was builtin to the kernel.
When built as a module, it depends on how the modules are loaded.
In an initrd sometimes insmod is used. It accepts module options on the commandline (insmod via_rhine avoid_D3=1).
If modprobe is used, specify "options via-rhine avoid_D3=1" in /etc/modprobe.conf (or a file in /etc/modprobe.d/). You must do it in the /etc/ directory which is mounted by the time modprobe is executed (so probably inside of your initrd).
