The problem was a buggy BIOS. There is a good description of the problem
here:

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html

I managed to update my BIOS (see other post) and I am happy now. Maybe I
could help if someone else has a similar problem. But there should be a
fix in later kernels, too.

Good night,
