I discussed with the some guys. For me there was no explaination why the 
USB-device is "disconnecting".

There could be one thing: The power consumption for this hardware is 
higher than allowed by USB (two dib3000 and two MT2060 = 700mA, USB 
500mA). But because it is a PCI card there is no problem, because the 
USB-descriptor should state: Self-Powered.

If this is not the case, maybe the VIA-chip is disconnecting the device.

Can someone check if the lsusb -v output is showing something like:

    bmAttributes         0xe0
      Self Powered
      Remote Wakeup
