But I don't know how to auto mount it, or even manually mount it -- how do you know what device label to assign it? Also, my computer has an onboard USB hub and then I have a PCI hub, but Linux doesn't seem to recognize the PCI hub. 

USB drives use the USB Mass Storage spec driver, and are considered to
be SCSI drives for the purpose of file system mounting. If you have no
other SCSI devices, this will be /dev/sda1. 

If the PCI USB ports are not being recognized, they may be covered by
a different USB standard -- UHCI vs OHCI. Try loading the other kernel
module.

Lots of information is available at www.linux-usb.org/
