I can attest USB tethering works. I have tested with Windows XP and Windows 7. Just make sure "Nokia Connectivity Cable" driver is installed which automatically gets installed if you use Nokia Link.

Is it just me or does PC Suite not do 3G tethering...? I'm using version 7.1.180.46 and although using One Touch Access, I connect using Nokia N9 USB Modem but am getting rather slow speeds... Is it supposed to utilize the full 3.5G or not?
My internet connection at home has been disconnected for an undetermined time and I have an unlimited data plan on my phone... I'd really like to utilize it (my computer doesn't have a wifi card... never needed one, but will buy one if that's my only solution)

You do not need PC Suite to USB tether, Windows will do it without any additional software. Just make sure you have Nokia Link installed on your computer as this will also install the USB drivers your N9 will need.

It doesn't look like Windows is taking my N9... I do have both Nokia Link and the USB drivers installed. Im using Windows 7 Ultimate. And trying to set up under Network --> Set Up A New Connection --> but my N9 is not listed there... just stays stuck at the page where it asks you to wait up to 90 seconds for any new hardware to appear but nothing appears...

I'm using wvdial. It can be found in debian's default repos and works flawlessly.

First you connect the N9 to your linux box with an USB cable and as the connection mode selection pops up you choose "Sychronize and connect" (or whatever that selection is in english). That's all on N9's side.

On the debian (or whatever linux) system you can run dmesg to see that N9 is recognized as USB ACM device :
Code:
$ dmesg | grep tty
[    0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[    1.131606] serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a NS16550A
[34786.069681] cdc_acm 1-4:1.7: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
In vwdial configuration file /etc/wvdial.conf you have to put above ttyACM0 device and settings from your ISP such as APN and passwords if required. wvdial is pretty good in figuring out the rest automatically. My configurations file looks like this (for DNA Finland):
Code:
# cat /etc/wvdial.conf 
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
Phone = *99#
Stupid Mode = 1
Username = " "
Password = " "
To connect your linux computer to the internet just execute wvdial:
Code:
 # wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT*99#
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT*99#
CONNECT
~[7f]}#@!}!} } }2}#}$@#}!}$}%\}"}&} }*} } g}%~
--> Carrier detected.  Starting PPP immediately.

Ifconfig tells we are connected:
Code:
$ ifconfig | grep -A2 ppp0
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
