[LinuxUsers] f/oss + eye-fi

[Roger E. Rustad, Jr]

Yesterday I bought the eye-fi SD card for my camera

www.eye.fi

It works great.  I had it up and running in like 3 minutes, and it saves 
a lot of time uploading the tons of pictures that I take all the time at 
various customer locations.

Also of possible interest to some, it supports geotagging (via Skyhook 
Wireless http://www.eye.fi/services/geotagging/) and Wayport access 
points if you pay a little extra each year.

Seeing how well it worked on Windows, I started googling for various 
f/oss tools that work with it and found the following

Some of the things this tool (apparently) does (haven't tried it yet):

     * Scan for wireless networks
     * Add, remove and test wireless networks (WPA-PSK with ASCII key 
and unsecured for now)
     * Reboot the card
     * List configured networks on the card
     * Fetch the card's unique key and MAC address

Here is some cool config stuff you can do (not f/oss related, but 
interesting nonetheless if you're interesting in tweaking it)

And here's a blog on getting the eye-fi working on Linux
