Re: Crio network light does not light when camera plugged in
So the resolution of this was EITHER:
1) The crossover cable we were using was wrecked (unlikely, because we used it to set up all our network devices)
or
2) We were supposed to be using a patch cable the whole time.

We switched from the generic crossover cable we had been using to the orange cable that came in the kit (which is marked as a patch cable), and the lights went on. Whether the camera actually works in the code is another question that will be answered tomorrow. Hopefully this fulfills our quota of snags for getting the camera working though.
