Praedor,
Going back to your earlier fun with i82365.. I'm now having the same
trouble with all kernels since 2.4.19 Seems that something in i82365.c
doesn't compile right. If I kill pcmcia and then try to load the
modules directly
# modprobe i82365
/lib/modules/2.4.21pre4-9mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o.gz:
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.21pre4-9mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o.gz failed
modprobe: insmod i82365 failed
if I try it directly

My chipset needs to use i82365 not yenta_socket to work right just like
yours. Even removing the dang module it STILL loads it somehow
(yenta_socket)
