Have you modified the N900 to make the usb0 interface an actual network
interface?  The usb0 interface is normally a phonet-controlled interface
that cannot be used for actual networking.  ModemManager doesn't speak
phonet yet, so the usb0 interface isn't usable and never was.  Unless
you install a hack on the N900 that might provide it as a network
interface.
