The N900 can power attached devices (up to 200mA) by itself.
If g0dzilla's approach only worked with a self-powered hub, then it is not
surprising and known to work.

We are looking for the "real" hostmode without any prior connection a PC or hub.

For those who got it working somehow: could you please post the output of

(requires installation of coreutils-gnu, start it before your experiment).
