hmm, curious.  do you have the pcmcia-cs package installed?  the pcmcia 
manager should do all of that for you automagically, at least it does for me 
(Except on the stinkpad) ;)

kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-686 should be the package which has the i82365.o 
that works for me in ...

~# dpkg -S /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/pcmcia/i82365.o
kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-686: /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/pcmcia/i82365.o
