i82365 is for pcmcia bridges, yes, however you almost certianly have a
cardbus bridge -- these are almost always controlled by the yenta_socket
driver.

Your system is probably misconfigured to load the i82365 instead of
yenta_socket, and you don't have anything 82365 can handle.

Once you get the bridge working, there are a few other things to keep in
mind:

In general you'll want pcmcia-cs and hotplug, to handle both pcmcia
cards and cardbus cards.  Hotplugd should be running, if you want to
autoload drivers for cardbus devices.

Think of it as pcmcia =3D=3D ISA, and carbus =3D=3D PCI.

Once inserted, a cardbus card will show up in ``lspci'', and uses the
standard pci drivers.  A pcmcia card will show up in ``cardctl ident''
and uses the *_cs drivers.

Hope that helps,
