How to determine tablet manufacturer?

    Just got one of these android tablets.

    I'm trying to connect to it in Eclipse on a Linux box, but it can't recognise the device. I presume I need to create a udev entry for it, but I can't work out who the manufacturer is, so I don't know which vendor id code to use.

    Adb can see it's connected, but just lists it as ????????

    Any suggestions for determining the manufacturer?

    Solved it with the brute force approach - I just created a udev entry for every vendor ID listed. That got it working, once I copped on I had to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in again.

    Out of curiosity I kept halving the list until it stopped working to narrow down which code it was. Turns out it's 18d1 - Google. So I guess if you're ever trying to do this for a generic Android tablet, try that code first.
