Upon upgrading from Fedora 41 to 42, I noticed that the USB tethering just doesn't work

networkctl recognizes the device as "wwan" now, instead of "ether". If I load up a previous kernel, USB tethering works normally.

This seems to be a change in the kernel, and probably won't be reverted in the future. What do I do?

You know what? Fuck this. I just backed my shit up and installed Debian. Still, please try to look into this, this could be a problem for many others

This is why I try to wait at least a week to for release upgrades.

    It's my minimum. It's usually been fine in the past. I've gone from a beta to full release and been fine. But the last few years ya, I try to wait at least a week, up to about a month. I do have other PCs or VMs I'll test a bit more with before pulling the trigger on my main machine.
