I do. The stick initially announces itself as:

and gets automounted by hal:

I don't even have to eject it. After about 90 secs it disconnects all by
itself:

and then reconnects as:

The acx module also loads all by itself, but complains about missing
firmware and throws two backtraces:

Aug  2 01:01:54 compaq firmware.sh[3744]: Cannot find  firmware file 'tiacx111usbc1B'

Ok, next step I guess is trying to find that firmware image 'tiacx111usbc1B' on
the temporarily appearing pseudo CD-ROM drive or on the real CD-ROM that came
with the device. Trouble is I don't really know what I am looking for. The
real CD-ROM contains several instances of a file named Fwusb1b.bin, could that
be it? And if so, where should I copy it so that the acx driver will find it?

Thanks,
Tilman
