Is there a way to make the N900's 3G internet connection available to a Linux/Ubuntu PC via the USB cable connection? I have Joikuspot and mobile hotspot on my phone, but WLAN is not the way to go for me here, and afaik there is no Nokia PC Suite-like application for linux? Thanks, Ben

Edit: SOLUTION if you run power kernel on N900:

- So, the way I've made it work now is using Mobile Hotspot on the N900 in USB mode (which was not yet a feature of Mob.Hotspot at the time of starting this thread). Qt Mobile Hostpot also has USB mode, but I haven't tried that one yet.
If you want to use this solution, keep in mind both Mobile Hotspot apps require power kernel on N900.

- Still, it should work with some version of some Linux distro (if it happens to be not hampered by a BUGGY ****ing network manager, a thing I'm starting to doubt exists...).
- Or, if you know what it is and how to do it,
fix the configuration of your ppp on N900
