I just checked and you're right that the anycom module is coupled via the USB pins on the mini-PCIe connector. And I also don't see a PCIe bridge in the Freescale documentation either, just the USB OTG and USB Host (the latter is probably coupled with the PCIe).
Toggling WAN state via the kindle FW does enable the USB bus, as it seems (not just switching device state).
Hopefully, tomorrow the postman will deliver a USB-based mini-PCIe Wifi card to my house. I'm planning to really give this a try :-) (well, I'll have to fiddle a bit with the antenna part, I guess)
