well, it seems i was wrong about windows

i tried to set it up last weekend (and to write a howto as i go along), but i didn't succeed. apparently, an RNDIS driver really is needed.
i tested various combinations of RNDIS drivers for the linux usbnet module, tweaking the device identification strings etc, but to no avail.

my guess is, that usbnet on the device needs to be tweaked so that microsoft's RNDIS drivers accept it as a valid (virtual) network adapter. i'll try that next weekend, but no promises.
the "maemo-statusbar-usbnet" for diablo is a promising starting point, since it accomplishes exactly that.
