Moin, moin,

I'm experiencing some problems at the moment with i82365.o and I think it
depends on using kernel-pcmcia or pcmcia-cs-package, but this is only a
guess.

On my machine i82365 refuses to load using kernel-pcmcia.

PCMCIA-HOWTO of pcmcia-cs-package says:


 "The kernel version of the i82365 driver, selected by
  CONFIG_I82365, only supports ISA-to-PCMCIA bridges.  PCI-to-PCMCIA
  bridges that are not CardBus capable, like the Cirrus PD6729, are not
  supported at all by the kernel PCMCIA drivers."

Maybe that's something to do with your problem? Or mine? 

Happy hacking
