[Information Request] How does the new aliendalvik have internet access

Does anyone know how the new aliendalvik has networking access? I am trying to get archlinux to run in a container, and cannot figure out how to allow it to access the network.

lxc-net does not even seem to create a network device (checked with ifconfig) even after adding the relevant configuration to /etc/default/lxc-net, and trying to start a container with a lxc bridge enabled prevents it from starting.

Anything even remotely related to networking doesn't exist on Sailfish OS, and as it turns out even stopping lxc-net does not cause android applications to lose internet access, so it's not that.

So how on earth does aliendalvik have internet access? Even better, how could I give another container internet access too?
