Well, since then I installed the pcmcia-modules-3.1.33-6k5 package, with
the kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2 and it works fine (with the i82365 module). However,
I still have a little problem : If I start pcmcia (/etc/init.d/pcmcia start)
while the card is plugged, the system hangs. If I start pcmcia without the card
plugged, and then plug it in, then it works. I guess it's a well known problem,
I thought adding "apm=eject" in /etc/pcmcia/apm.opts would solve the problem but
it does not... Any Idea?
