Ahhhh you have run into the same problem I had.  The isapnp PCMCIA
driver has a hardcoded size for the i/o memory size - it is too small
to run the wi card.  I did recently submit a pr about this (sorry,
cannot recall the number).  The fix is to go into
/usr/src/sys/dev/isapnp and edit i82365_isapnp.c, on line 156 you will
see:

        msize =  0x4000;

change this to

        msize =  0x10000;

and rebuild/reinstall the kernel.  I suggested in the pr that this
really should be an option in the config file.
