Comment (by dwmw2):

 Oops, the address the image listens on is ff0f::114. With a single colon,
 it doesn't make sense.

 To send it an image, run: serve_image ff0f::114 12345 <imagefile> 131072
 [<tx_rate>]

 If the TX rate is omitted, it'll default to about 80KiB/s (~1Mb/s). If you
 have a sensible multicast rate on your APs, you should be able to send
 faster than that -- I use 950 KiB/s for 11Mb/s.
