Asking here because the Ubuntu Touch community is still developing and I know that many of the UT devs started in Maemo-Meego-OpenMoko-MER so still may be found here.

I have a Nexus 7 (2013) flashed with Ubuntu touch, there is much unfamiliar with this distro as it requires many Android/CyanogenMod packages to work with the unmainlined Android kernel and the required drivers.

I have been trying to get the tablet to connect to QT Mobile Hotspot via wifi, it associates but doesn’t grab from an IP from the DHCP. If I run dhclient in the tablet's terminal it just hangs. Any ideas?
Working in shell with the tablet is a bit of a pain as the touch screen makes typing difficult and SSH apparently doesn't work without tweaking.
