Ugh?!

The ESD USB/Micro is a separate USB CAN driver, see:

http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.8.1/drivers/net/can/usb/Kconfig#L9

and

http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.8.1/drivers/net/can/usb/esd_usb2.c

Therefore i wonder why a /dev/ttyACM is created and not just a 'can0'.

Can you send the dmesg output when plugging the interface?
What kernel version do you use?
What does 'lsusb -v -v' tell about the ESD adapter?
