[Elphel-support] Elphel camera with Raspberry Pi

[David Haberthür]

Dear all.

Thanks to one of the Masterstudents here, which has extensive experience 
with LAN-Parties I managed to find and correct the problem.
The non-working connection was not based on the auto-negotiation, but a 
problem of correct setting of the involved the IPs. Somehow DHCP on 
Raspbian [1] doesn't "get" it when the camera is connected.

Typing
	$ sudo ifconfig 192.168.0.1
, unplugging and reconnecting the camera did the trick.

Now I'm onto the next problem. The user-interface over 
192.168.0.9/camvc.html is unuseably slow on that whimsy computer, so I 
need to whip up some Python code to download single images as fast as 
possible...
