I'm running an My traceroute now on the camera, and it seems to be
performing OK:

the network connection seems to be OK now. I contribute the previous
network issues to the ethernet interface / driver of my laptop. I'd like
to apologize for faulting the camera at this point.

but, the image I get from the camera itself seems to be broken - there
are vertical stripes on the image. I wonder if your received the image I
sent you? also, the /usr/local/bin/str seems to be taking 108% of CPU
time when running, with 3 such processes reported. I wonder if this is
normal.
