@arubislander it "works" as in it connects to a DHCP network but i was wanting fine control over what IP I was requesting. my work requires me to configure networks and connect to devices on networks in this way. there doesn't seem to be built in manual IP settings in Ubuntu Touch, at least graphically, but I'd be interested in finding out how to do this with some kind of CLI or even a script. I'm really well versed in Windows but total noob when it comes to linux.
