This is a well known problem. I also have a i82365 controller, but the i82365 kernel module doesn't work. The solution is to use the undocumented yenta_socket. Goto your /etc/default/pcmcia and set: PCIC=yenta_socket leave the rest as it is. Now restart your card services with /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart and tell us what happens.
