Because the device may expect a USB host controller instead a RS-232 :-? > I am going over there to help > him tomorrow, so to come prepared I started googling today.

What seems to be more popular are RS-232 devices (modems, printers...) connected/attached to a computer USB host port, but not the opposite. > I am assuming that, being a card reader, > I will be able to mount the media (card). Mmm, have you tested it? :-? Insert a smartcard and check the output of "dmesg" and "mount" commands. They will tell.

It might just be me, but when I head "USB-serial adaptor" I think of something like a PL2303 which can be used to attach devices with a serial connector to a PC that lacks a serial port. It would be news to me if these adaptors worked the other way round, too. But if it actually works, you should be able to talk to the device using the regular /dev/ttyS0.
