Has anyone tried nokia n900 via USB tethering for Ubuntu 9.10 or Windows XP? How did you go about doing it.

If Ubuntu doesn't pick up the modem automatically (I read somewhere on here that someone had that kind of luck!) then maybe the procedure I used under Centos would work:

On ubuntu, under network manager you should have a new Mobile Broadband choice for your carrier. Works for me.

You guys ROCK!!!
It works perfectly in Ubuntu 9.10
I didnt even know that could be possible to do this. Thanks to my "its the last check honey... I promise" I can take the laptop in a 12 hour trip.

Works but you cannot sync your calendar and other things like you do with the N95...

Hey guys!
One probably dumb question:
When I select the modem in ubuntu, what do I have to enter as number to dial and username / password?
I'm not quite sure... Because the N900 is already connected to the internet, so it doesn't have to dial anything.
Do I simply have to select my carrier out of the list? Or does it actually care what I enter there?
Thank you!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup believe it or not... should have settings for most carriers
Edit... maybe not. Lemme google that some more
dial string is *99#
user/pass is blank... should work for TMobile, maybe for most GSM carriers?
