Usb-tethering stopped working after F42 update

You might be able to work around the problem with usb_modeswitch as I pointed out earlier:

Edit: If I’m reading the documentation correctly, the needed usb_modeswitch command might be something like the following:

sudo usb_modeswitch -v '0xXXXX' -p '0xYYYY' -C '0xe0'

The above is just a guess. I haven’t tested it.

E.g., in Michael’s case, that would be:

sudo usb_modeswitch -v '0x05c6' -p '0x0404' -C '0xe0'

Maybe that would have to be run from a udev rule in order to run early enough though.
