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?

Also, I can't be 100% sure about this because I don't have access to our robot right now, but I think all you need to do to populate the video box in the dashboard program is insert this in your code:

AxisCamera &camera = AxisCamera::getInstance();
camera.writeResolution(k320x240);
camera.writeBrightness(0);

Of course, adjust resolution and brightness as necessary.

According to WPI_Library_Users_Guide.pdf found on:
http://first.wpi.edu/FRC/frccupdates.html

All you need to do to populate that field is to call the camera getInstance method somewhere in your code.
