I've had some odd experiences with connecting via USB.
T-mobile is my provider and I use one of their WiFi Hotspots(WiFi 
programmed off) to access the internet.

On one machine I had problems if it was plugged in when I did power on 
of the laptop. I suggest turning computer power on with it disconnected 
and then plugging it in after having logged into Debian. If nothing else 
it will provide a data point. YMMV
