I was afraid of something like this:
It is creating a new USB device every time; that log shows the 58th-62nd device.

Same device but it is not being properly handled by the overload of unnecessary USB packages.
...or so I see it.

In both logs that the OP posted, the virtual Ethernet port enumerated as eth1. Attach the wan network to that name. I'm going to assume the kernel driver has been changed so that names of the form usbN are no longer used.

@AndrewZ

Your device is eth1.
Pay attention to what is written in the wiki:

Solved. AndrewZ was right, the device indeed is eth1 and it's there when everything is properly turned on at the right time. User error. Now I'll have to see how stable this USB-tethering connection will be.

Thanks to everyone who responded.
