You are correct that it will show up as /dev/sdX1, where X is dependent on what other SCSI devices are on the system. Rather than guessing, look at /var/log/messages; the USB code will tell you which device it assigns to the key. Some USB keys are flakey, and support for them seems to come and go. As root, run "lsusb" to see if the kernel even picked it up. You may have to install lsusb first. Also check http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/ to see what luck other folks have had with your key. Basil, please do not top post (write your reply above that to which you are replying). It will make it harder for folks to read the message, and subsequent messages, on the list or in the archive.

Francois Francois, once you have identified on which device file your USB key is showing up, you may need to edit /etc/fstab to get the kernel to mount it automatically. There may also be something you'll need to do for Konqueror.
