After installation, yes.  But nothing got printed by dmesg during the
installation when I plug in the USB stick.  And (from mempry, the
machine is now in production so I can't fiddle) lsmod didn't show all
the necessary modules --- after full installation I see:

ehci_pci               12472  0 
uhci_hcd               26976  0 
ehci_hcd               40464  1 ehci_pci

I think ehci-pci,ko is missing from the initrd.
