Not on its own, no. But if I interpret the kernel messages correctly, it is
actually involved in driving the device when the AVM driver is present.
This is how it looks when the device is inserted:

So as soon as the AVM driver switches the stick from storage mode (where it
offers Windows drivers for installation) to WLAN mode, the acx module shows
up.

Anything I should try?

Thanks,
Tilman
