Eye-Fi presenta un nuevo «firmware» v4.2172 para su línea X2 de tarjetas inalámbricas SD. La actualización implementa una serie de ajustes menores y corrige errores, incluidos los que estaban causando problemas con la Nikon D7000 y algunos lectores de tarjetas USB.
Para instalar el «firmware», hay que insertar una tarjeta de Eye-Fi X2 en un lector de tarjetas conectado al ordenador, correr la aplicación » Eye-Fi Center «, y seguir las instrucciones clicando en el icono de la tarjeta.
Nota: La funcionalidad de ruter Wi-Fi, anunciado por Eye-Fi en enero, aún no está incluida en este «firmware» v4.2172, pero lo hará dentro de unos meses con una nueva actualización.
La lista completa de mejoras es esta:
v4.2172 (01 Feb 2011)
Mejoras
- Improved SD card interoperability with Pentax K series cameras
- Improved stand-by power consumption in Eye-Fi connected cameras
- Better post-format and power-on SD reset behavior in some cameras to improve interoperability
- Increased the number of uploaded files that can be removed via endless memory processing for each sequence of four power-cycles
- Improved prioritization of pending upload work over endless memory processing
- Increased number of retries during 802.11 association failures when adding a new network profile
- Control WPA supplication parameters directly instead of relying on the Marvell driver to improve 802.11 interoperability in WPA/WPA2 modes
- Incorporated new firmware from Marvell
- Reduced maximum 802.11 power selected while operating in card readers to improve operation with marginal USB power supplies
- Changed expired breadcrumb clean-up processing to a random probabilistic scheme for better stand-by power
Fixes:
- Fixed NULL pointer bug in expiring old wireless scan results while they were being used actively
- Dynamic calibration for mutual component tolerance sensitivity with some Apple Airport (and a few other) access points
