Sry for that question, but why don't you use WLAN like everyone else?

I've found workaround: connect to GPRS first, then to usb. Now it thinks, that I have connection (GPRS) but uses the laest connection (USB).
I don't like wireless, i like UTP cables. At home I jest don't need WiFi, so I don't have any WiFi adapters (excluding my neighbour's unprotected AP, but signal is untable). My girlfriend (and her mother) pricipially don't use WiFi as it is bad for health (I know, that this is unknown an so on, but wires do thei wi do it very good and are much more stable, again no need for WiFi excepting reading at toilet. And if you don't need it, why not to make your mental state more comfortable by knowing, that there is no "danger" radio waves around?). So I don't have available AP near me.

I'm trying to setup USB networking with my PC to download packages via cheap unlimited ethernet provider rather than pricy GPRS provider.
I did the same steps as for n800 and usbnet works fine... for usual apps which just connect to needed server and transfer data. Nokia's apps (browser, app. manager, mail) behave different: they check if you have connection established (I don't have GPRS or WiFi connection established), establish it and then all data is sent via that slow and pricey connection.
Is there a way to tell N900 that I already have internet connection and it's not it's business to make things [s]better[/s] worse?

google for "N900 usbnet"
I did it on linux because it is more familiar for me. I know, that it is possible on windows, but today I didn't succed with it: PC Suite doesn't provide this functionality and after installation of PC Suite I didn't figure out how to disable it and enable USB net. So i decided walking 10 meters to nearest linux computer and configure it.

Re- WiFi bad for health.
Ethernet wires also generate electric fields. And your n900 does too, especially when you use gprs. Hold it next to a powered speaker and load a web page and you can hear the requests and responses.
I really appreciate your responses though, helping people get usb working!
