man fxload - Firmware download to EZ-USB devices

fxload  [  -v  ]  [ -l ] [ -D devpath ] ...

       -D devpath
              Specifies the "usbfs" path name for the device in question, such
              as /proc/bus/usb/004/080.  This takes precedence over any DEVICE
              environment variable that may be set.

How do I figure out what the devpath is for the device I plugged in?

or.. how do I know what devnum will get assigned?

The device(s) I am working with:

juser@dc10b:~$ lsusb -s 2:9; lsusb -s 2:10
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 04e2:1410 Exar Corp.
