If the device is read as a usb device by lsusb, you can use wireshark to dump the data in Windows (simplest method), otherwise you can capture data with Wireshark on the host by monitoring the VM.
Creating device drivers or sending raw data in general to a device tends to result in dead hardware, its not advisable to develop drivers for a device you are currently using and depend on but to rather purchase a cheap low grade device that you don't mind dying during testing and development.
