As you may probably have read I have been having almost exactly
the same problem with the i82365.o module that I compiled
from pcmcia-sources. I don't know if you compiled the pcmcia-modules
yourself, but in case you did let me know. I have no clue to
understand why it fails so badly, whereas the the module compiled
by the debian mantainer did not lock up the machine, at least in
my case.

As far as I understand i82365 is not specific of a network
card, but it's required by the card's driver in order
to be tied up with the pcmcia_core module that is the
central module in the pcmcia management.
