I tried searching for this and I've seen it the other way round only.

Can the n900 be used as a wifi adaptor for a PC. So the phone connects to wifi and the PC shares the connection through USB?

I think there's a wiki page on that. I never tried to do it that way though, so I don't have advice on the matter.

I haven't tried it yet, but in theory:

1) Establish USB networking: http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking
2) Establish WiFi connection on N900 side, such that wlan0 is up
3) Use iptables to establish NAT:

Code:
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
4) Enable IP forwarding:

Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Tell us if you get it working.
