What I do on linux when I have a new device with no drivers is I connect it, then use the 'lspci' command to find out the info regarding the chipset it is using. Using (lspci -nnv) gives more detailed info.  This info is shown in the form {XXXX:XXXX].  Mac uses a similar command if not exactly the same.

Once I have the chipset ID then I can search for the specific needed drivers.
