Hi!

I remember that this file is used for switching between usb peripheral 
and host mode. But because n900 HW somehow broken, for usb host mode are 
needed couple of "hack" patches which workaround HW bugs... This is 
still not enough and "support" from userspace is needed for it too.

Kernel patches are part of Maemo kernel-power 2.6.28 version and with 
package usbmode http://maemo.org/packages/view/usbmode/ is it possible 
to enter usb host mode on n900 (and then connect e.g. usb stick).

And IIRC correct command is:

# echo host > mode
# echo peripheral > mode
