You may be able to tell that with lsusb.
Before you plug it in, run lsusb. Then plug it in, and run lsusb. The
difference in the two runs will make it easy to spot the new device.
Then run lsusb with the -s option to specify the device, and -v to get
more information. That may tell you far more about the device than you
wanted to know.
You may find the file /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids (in the package
usb.ids) useful.
