Thx for your answer. Unfortunately, it didn't help us yet in finding a fix 
for the problem.

The first IRQs are received after the call to pci_enable_device, but 
before the IRQ handler itself is registered (register_irq). The IRQs seem 
to be triggered by the write operations to the card registers 
(byteout()/outb() calls around lines 676ff in sedlbauer.c); the IRQ 
handler is registered much later, though. The dump above suggests that the 
kernel relays the interrupts to the USB handler (on the same IRQ) instead 
- which obviously is wrong.

In short:
* pci_enable_device
* writing to card registers -> triggering interrupts
  (handler not yet installed -> error)
* register interrupt -> fails, as it already was disabled due to the 
  errors

Again: thx for your comments. Do you have any further ideas/advice on how 
to get the driver running?

      Thomas
