If you download and run a LiveCD (Ubuntu would be a good choice), you can get the hardware ID of the device before installing on the hard disk.
Once in the Live Linux, open up a terminal window and use (as root or sudo)
lspci
and
lspci -n
This will tell you the chipset detail and then you can google for Linux drivers.
