Last gasp of desperation, I logged in as root - I know, I know!  - and ran 
system-config-network again.  Maybe it's because I did something so out of 
character that it made me look again, more carefully.  The Profile checkbox 
was not checked.  I checked it and checked settings, then selected Activate - 
and it did.  Presumably it had been checked last night, but somehow unchecked 
today?  I don't know.

I do know that it's a design fault if it allows you to apparently complete and 
save a configuration file which, apparently, doesn't exist when you've done 
it.

Still, the good news is that yum update is at last reading in the repo info.
