I cannot tell anything about the AVM drivers.

If the AVM driver can do that, I don't know.
But on load of the module 'kernelcapi', you can specify the
module parameter
  showcapimsgs=X
where X is the verbose level.
By default it is 0, which means no messges. You should set it
to 3 to get the CAPI control messages on the kernel-console (logfile).
Or even to 7 to have all CAPI messages (including data messages) which 
might be too much.
