An ethernet device for ISDN controller card sounds crazy.

If you Fritz Card is PCI Version 1 it is right. Fritz PCI 2.0 needs a
different kernel module called hisax_fcpcipnp.o.

Totally normal. The ipppd deletes the default route when put down.

No, no need to restart the whole network. You can set the default up
again by just entering in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local

route add default ippp0

(If you want it to be set on the ISDN device.) You can also use iproute2
and

ip route add default dev ippp0
