Okay, I now have the device recognized in Linux — if I hold down B2 for just the right length of time, I get:
[152334.596046] usb 2-5: new low-speed USB device number 16 using ohci_hcd
in dmesg. But when I run osFWUpdater_x64 (after installing some half-gig of Qt and putting all the correct links to libraries in /usr/lib…), it just comes up with a blank window, no controls. I’ve run it both as regular user and as root, no difference.
Moving back to my Win7 laptop and holding the button for just the right length of time, I was able to use the Zadig driver installer to install the libusb driver. But when I run osFWUpdater.exe, I get an “osFWUpdater.exe has stopped working” message, with the following Problem Signature:

I distinctly remember seeing the Windows version of this program running sometime before installing the libusb driver (but of course it wouldn’t find the OS), so I have no idea why it’s failing to run now.
