This is a well known problem. I also have a i82365 controller, but the i82365
kernel module doesn't work. The solution is to use the undocumented
yenta_socket. Goto your /etc/default/pcmcia and set:
PCIC=yenta_socket
leave the rest as it is. Now restart your card services with
/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
and tell us what happens.
