It works with yenta_socket driver, right? It should, at least,
just as the rest of PCI pcmcia adapters.
So I guess the upgrade didn't get that it needed to change i82365
by yenta_socket, though I'm not sure how it is supposed to do
that. Francois, what is the theoretical way of rightly upgrading
that kind of stuff?

If your problems concern the kernel, the install/upgrade,
detection of hardware, urpmi, etc, the best is probably to mail
on this ML.
If you have a very specific, long worked bug report or problem on
a specific package, bugzilla should be nice, though we are not
very efficient in using it. Posting on this ML with a CC to the
maintainer[1] can be considered more efficient (by me, for
example).
Ref:
[1] you can get the name of the maintainer for each package with
rpmmon, see:
