Why do you have 2 modules for the same card ?
One from the kernel source...i suppose you need the pcmcia-cs one.
i82365 is a modular pcmcia-cs socket driver from this package ?

In /etc/modutils/ether, try to define alias eth0 3c589_cs 
(don't forget update-modules afterw.)

If:
/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
gives you an ident it's porobably a coldplug problem.
Or just try eject and insert again.

Look into /var/run

Wild guess: On bootup the card is identified as memory card ?
Is /etc/pcmcia/config sourced at all ?

Is there a /etc/pcmcia/config ?

I've experience some similar problems here, with 2.4 kernel inbuilt pcmcia 
though. Please, continuo with your updates !
