Good. Now we have "idVendor=2571, idProduct=152e,", which you can use to search on the LHDB <https://linux-hardwar.org> to see reports from other linux users. This looks like a power management problem, possibly the USB cable that provides power is being turned off because there is no active data. < https://www.baeldung.com/linux/control-usb-power-supply> may give you some ideas, but not everything may be correct for Fedora 43. If you have an external powered USB hub I would try moving the data cable to the hub. Some linux kernel changes related to power management need vendor (system and or external drive) firmware updates. "Nov 22 11:16:42 [sysname] fwupd[3292]: 18:16:42.100 FuEngine failed to add device" indicates the vendor doesn't participate in the vendor firmware update program, so you would have to check for updates in Windows or the vendor's site. -- George N.
