		+	Create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/nokia-n900.rules and add this (single) line:
		+	<pre>
		+	ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0421", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01c8", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Nokia", ATTRS{product}=="N900 (PC-Suite Mode)", NAME="usb0", RUN+="/sbin/ifup usb0"
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	NetworkManager must be told to ignore usb0. Use ifconfig to get the MAC address of usb0, and add these lines to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:
		+	<pre>
		+	[keyfile]
		+	unmanaged-devices=mac:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX # replace X's with usb0 MAC address
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	Add the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces:
		+	<pre>
		+	# N900 on usb0
		+	allow-hotplug usb0
		+	iface usb0 inet static
		+	address 192.168.2.14
		+	netmask 255.255.255.0
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	Restart the affected services:
		+	<pre>
		+	sudo service udev restart
		+	sudo service network-manager restart
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	Now when you connect the N900 via USB and select PC Suite Mode, usb0 will be up and configured.
