Thanks. So far i have checked:

2.6.15.X does not work. Same problen there: no shared irq, no umts (only to 
make shure..). Never will try an older kernel than 2.6.24 from now on;-)

The setserial command itself does not change anything. But the combination of 
irqpoll and "setserial /dev/modem baud_base 460800 spd_warp low_latency"
allows the card to function on a lonesome interrupt even with usable speed.

But the card itself does not generate any interrupt at all during that 
time. /proc/interrupts counts up two on a physical insert of the card, one 
with a "pccardctl insert 0" or a physical remove, a "pccardctl eject 0" 
counts zero.
