USB Questions

[babaghanoo at yahoo.com (Brett Michaels)]

I have a Sony Microvault which is a USB disk or "disk-on-key" device, and I'd like to use it to transfer files from my Windows computer to Linux. I got it to work once but I have no idea how or why it happened, and unfortunately the Suse manuals lack a lot of details. 
 
When I plug the drive into the onboard USB hub, Linux recognizes it -- I can see the device using usbview. 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. 
 
So my questions are, how can I get Linux to recognize the PCI USB card? And how do I set things up to use my Microvault? I mostly use KDE if that's helpful.
 
Don't hate me because I'm clueless, but please respond accordingly.
 
Thanks.
Jared
