Maybe I'll try that one, certainly the CD 2.4 kernel didn't hack it.

As I said it works out of the box, but if I rebuild the kernel
i82365 never finds the device.

less entries is the most obvious characteristic. I'm sure the
issue is interrupt/hardware related, but seems odd the Debian
kernels work and mine don't.

Actually pcmcia_core loads, just i82365 doesn't, and devices
still has no 254 entry.

I will go boot from CD and download a prebuilt kernel, see if it
has the same issues.

 Simon, really hacked off with this, but I'm getting better at
xgal as I wait for kernel builds to finish, and I finished Super
Methane Brothers finally - that should be good for the GNU Chess
project as that should gain them several hours a week extra.
