Then I will enter "sudo gainroot" command in xterm. Then I will simply write command "/etc/network/interfaces", and it gives the following information in xterm;

/bin/sh: /etc/network/interfaces: Permission denied

I am quoting the instruction as was written in http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking . Please, tell me where I am making the mistake.

If you are typing "/etc/network/interfaces", then your N900 will try and run the 'interfaces' file as a script. It's not a script it's a configuration file and needs to be edited with a text editor.

It's much easier for us to see what's happening if you copy/paste from xterm to here.
