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

When Debian upgrades to this kernel version you might run into the issue again. Unless there is a fix deployed before then.

    Is that kernel BZ ticket hopeful? IDK what resolving as "answered" means.
