That's pretty much it. There is no config required on the N900 side.
This is how I get connected.
- Connect USB cable
- Select PC Suite Mode on the N900
- Open Xterm and execute 'ifup usb0' as root
- Start SSH if not running.
- SSH to the N900 from Ubuntu using 'ssh root@n900'
I basically followed the instructions on the wiki. Here's my setup.
Ubuntu:
USB network-interface config section in /etc/network/interfaces
auto n900 iface n900 inet static address 192.168.2.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward up iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.2.0/24 down echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward down iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTINGSUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_USB_DRIVER}=="cdc_ether", ENV{ID_MODEL}="N900__PC-Suite_Mode", ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="Nokia", NAME="n900" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_USB_DRIVER}=="cdc_phonet", ENV{ID_MODEL}="N900__PC-Suite_Mode", ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="Nokia", NAME="n900pn"This is how I get connected.

check the connection using ifconfig:
