Clarifying observed sequence of states/events:
1. Computer power off.
2. Alcatel Linkzone powered up and connected to cellular network.
3. Independent of whether or not the Linkzone is plugged into the
    computer, turning on computer power results in Grub menu appearing.
4. With the Linkzone plugged in, select a Grub menu entry.
5. "reset high-speed usb device number 3 using ehci-pci" is displayed
    in an infinite loop until Linkzone is unplugged.
6. Debian then comes up normally.
7. Internet available as soon as Linkzone is connected.

Does that consistent with what I just described?

How?
*or*
Is there another question to be asked?
