I found the following post which describes how to assign a static ip to a wifi interface. I am currently developing for a Nexus 7 (4.1.2) and have an OTG cable along with a Linksys 300M usb-to-ethernet adapter. Is there a way I could assign a static ip to the ethernet interface?

Once again, thank you very much.

Assuming your ethernet interface on the device is eth0, this should work :

ifup eth0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

in general

ifup<interface name> <ip-address> <netmask>

You could also do this with ifconfig, but changing the IP address manually still requires root or you'll just get an ioctl error informing you as such.
