Yes. Something changed.
To find out what, you will need to do a little more digging.
I would start by looking at your system logs. Try unplugging and
re-plugging your USB device, and looking at the accompanying log messages.
One thing I find useful for this sort of thing is adding a line like this
*.* /dev/tty9
to my </etc/syslog.conf> file, and restarting the <syslogd> daemon. That
will cause syslog to dump every log message it gets to virtual console 9
(press [CTRL]+[ALT]+[F9] to switch).
Also: I've never used any of the USB stuff for Linux, but I would imagine
there are utility commands that will do things like report the status of
connected devices. Look for those, and see what they think.
