I am not sure what to tell you.  What changed was that we moved from a 
semi-broken pcmcia-cs-3.1.31 to pcmcia-cs-3.1.33.  Here are a couple 
questions:

What happens if you modprobe i82365 ?  That autoloads pcmcia_core, so I 
would like to think that you get the same behavior, but it is something 
to try.  Exactly what steps do you use with the rc6 CD?  Where is the 
pcmcia_core module that you are insmod'ing?

You can file a bug, but I will need a bit more information, as the 
modules on the 1.0 CD work fine for me.
