Normally you type

Code: Select all

sudo tail -f /var/log/messages

and plug in the USB to serial converter to see what happens. The kernel modules for each USB-to-serial chip are usually in

/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/driver/usb/serial.

When i try to install it on Windows 7
then the Plug n Play install it as:
"HID-Gameunit" and "USB-Inputunit" at the same time.

When it's in your Windows machine can you take a look at the device manager. From there you should be able to get the vendor id and product id. Those can help find what chipset the device is using.

plug it in to your RPi
dmesg
dmesg | grep usb # to just show the USB messages
lsusb

Those commands should show whether the Linux kernel recognised it and whether it has a driver that works for it.
