I don't have a AX3-4 but it seems to have a MiniPCIe socket and
not a PCIe one.
MiniPCIe specification includes both PCIe _and_ USB2.0 signals (on pins
36&38) (and also SMBus, SIM and LEDs drivers check the following table
for details http://pinoutsguide.com/Slots/mini_pcie_pinout.shtml ) so
the possibility to have a USB port connected to the MiniPCIe on the
AX3-4 makes sense.

For example most 3G MiniPCIe boards are using the USB2.0 signals and
not the PCIe ones.
