I consider this SOLVED (gmail breaks threads sorry). See syslog (some select lines) below - it looks like this USB adaptor is not properly supported by the kernel.
Now I have the problem I had yesterday: without rebooting, I am now stuck it seems: $ sudo umount /n/ umount: /n: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) But simply disconnecting the device solved the hung terminals - they are now back to normal.
