Are you sure it is a kernel version issue and not a PCMCIA version
issue?

Even if cardmgr is not running, as long as pcmcia_core and i82365 are
loaded, when you insert a CardBus card, it will show up in /proc/pci
and the pci_devices list.  This has been true for maybe a year or so,
and should be independent of kernel version.  Prior to that, I think
the device only showed up in /proc/pci when cb_enabler was loaded.
This change was made in PCMCIA version 3.1.0.

How about having probe1() verify that it got a non-zero ioaddr and irq
before calling init_etherdev()?
