You need to figure out what kind of hardware is in it, a good first try
would be checking the output of "lspci", "lsusb", and dmesg. Anything
you can find would be of help, even if it's just a product ID.

The alternative is to skim through the manual after any specifications,
or carefully opening it up (voiding your warranty?) and checking the
hardware.
