A reboot solved it, powering the device off/on made no difference, as did replugging the cable. Afterwards, I recalled that I had run a much belated yum update 2 or 3 days ago and had failed/forgotten to reboot. Probably some necessary item had gotten wedged somehow because of that. (seen it before, but not with a USB device.) Thanks for the reply, though.
