I have a Nexus7 (old) that is updated to latest Android 4.3 and no problems 
with it. I think there was something regarding this and searching for it, when 
I find it will post. The new Nexus7 (2013) has problems with USB host mode and 
for some it works for some not (

SOLVED!
I'm not entirely sure what fixed the problem, however, I learned a few things 
along the way. Thought I'd share in case it can help others.

Was able to narrow it down to the camera USB by trying to use another USB 
trigger - when that didn't work I went looking. On the Canon 6D you have to 
have WiFi Disabled to be able to use the USB connection.

Having the USB connection working on the camera meant DslrDashboard worked via 
USB to the tablet.

Next I tried using the TP-Link MR3040 portable wireless router, which connects 
to the camera via USB. The trick with connecting via OpenWrt/Linux is to use 
192.168.1.1 even though the wireless link to the tablet may have a different ip 
address. That had me stumped for a while - tried it in desperation.

So all is working - disable wifi on camera, and use ip address 192.168.1.1

Hope that helps someone

Btw, with Canon 6D please be careful with the image format, don't set a format 
that is not supported by camera. On 650D I have the S2 and S3 additional image 
settings. Unfortunately Canon allows to set an image format that is not 
supported by camera and then it display the Err 70. In upcoming version I will 
remove the S2 and S3 and only leave the standard ones that should be supported 
by all Canon models.

Thanks for sharing that - could be a difficult error to work out by myself.

It's a fantastic program!
