Try these commands:

first off unplug your usb to serial adapter

run "ls -al /dev/* >devices"

plug in your adapter

run "ls -al /dev/* >devices2"
then "diff devices devices2" and it should show the name of the new device if it is detected and supported (almsot all are).

you can also run "dmesg" after pluggin it in to see what the kernel detected it as.

typical names are /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 and so on.
