Is it possible with the software currently installable for nit? I don't think so
Is it possible? With a custom built kernel with more advanced routing and bridging abilities enabled, and some userland tools, it would be possible to bridge wifi and usbnet.
I don't know how to do it even with a full-featured non-slim kernel though so don't ask me

Alright, I had to spend some time tracking this down so here's the scoop (This will probably only work with a linux desktop and a linux-based router, or one you can control the routing table on. I have instructions for Debian/Ubuntu, adjust as necessary):
0) Get rootsh (and openssh-server to make your life easier later. Not strictly necessary) installed. It's in extras.
1) On the tablet: Install maemo-control-usb (from extras)
2) Control Panel -> USB Networking -> Setup USB networking
3) Plug in the USB cable
3) On your PC: Add this to /etc/network/interfaces
4) Back on the tablet, as root:
5) On your router: Add a route to 192.168.2.1 . If your router runs linux: route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw <IP Address of Tablet's wlan0 interface>
Mine looks like this:
. If you want to do that with your router's web based interface, here's the info:
Destination: 192.168.2.0
Gateway: <Your tablet's wifi IP address>
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Interface: LAN
Normal networking troubleshooting tips apply (Ping is your friend. So is traceroute. Might want to get to know nslookup as well). This should work with any version of the kernel. Poke at me and I'll try and clarify this if I can.

iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.2.15
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward route del default usb0
Mine looks like this:
Code:
route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.115

thanks s lot.. although it would be nice if it will work with windows too...
Did a little research and the threads I looked at didn't give a clear answer.
