Since there is no source code available yet, I can't change the code to send to 10.xx.yy.5.

Any I missing something, or should I just be patient and wait for a fix to be released?

I could be wrong, but I think you just need to wait for the code to get updated and released. Last year, laptops attached to the dashboard would have the IP of 10.xx.yy.6, while the dashboard it self had 10.xx.yy.5. This year, because the dashboard and laptop are one item, the code needs to send its data to 10.xx.yy.5. Just wait until the new versions of the examples ship out and the updated verison of the CameraToDashboardExample sends to the correct IP.

Also, according to the 2010 WPLib Manual you should try using the 2010ImageDemo code sample.
