Doesn't sound like the prob I had, plus I had it with all of the 2.4.x
kernels I've used. I'll give you the solution I found anyway :).
2.4.x needs the yenta_socket module. Modprobe it and stuff starts working.
A couple of weeks ago someone on debian-user mentioned some actual
documentation saying to move change i82365 to yenta_socket in
/etc/pcmcia.conf. That's been working great for me.
