that doesn't make much sense? - sounds like you are saying you want to tether it - but.... not using the n900's internet, by using a routers - passing through the n900.....

So a kinda wireless access repeater (But repeating on cable?!)

Lol i really can't personally think of any reason for that?!

I think the op is talking about a feature that some ADSL Modem Routers support. When the landline signal fails the router treats the USB port as the WAN. The end result is that equipemnt connected on the LAN side have an alternatte route to the outside world.

so not so much mobile internet - but more $500 spare router? (I'd go with the spare working 3g dongles, routers, or even a second internet connection is probably cheaper

You could probably just use the sim card that was in the dongle in your N900 if you wanted to use that data plan. Pain is that you then loose the N900 for normal functions as normally the voice service is disabled on these accounts.

The usb dongle he's talking about is a wifi network card, just over usb instead of integrated to the motherboard. He wants to connect to his home network over wifi using the n900 as essentially a wifi controller for his desktop.

SIM cards have nothing to do with this.

I would guess that it is the same as for tethering but connect the N900 to your local WiFi first. Might need some scripting if the N900 doesn't use existing connections and reverts to cell apn.
