Thank you for quick replay. Your suggestion lead me to this blog post:

-2/
And one config form github: https://github.com/daniviga/latitude5450
I've created 99-dell8805.rules for my modem:

 ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="mbim_to_qmi_rules_end"
 SUBSYSTEM!="usb|drivers", GOTO="mbim_to_qmi_rules_end"

 # load qcserial module
 SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
         ATTR{idVendor}=="413c", ATTR{idProduct}=="81a3", \
         RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -b qcserial"

 # force Dell WWAN 5808 to configuration #1
 SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
         ATTR{idVendor}=="413c", ATTR{idProduct}=="81a3", \
         ATTR{bConfigurationValue}="1"

 # add the new id in the qcserial driver
 SUBSYSTEM=="drivers", \
         ENV{DEVPATH}=="/bus/usb-serial/drivers/qcserial", \
         ATTR{new_id}="413c 81a3"

LABEL="mbim_to_qmi_rules_end"

Now it works well.
Thank you again!
