Pro X2 not found by eyefi-config

[Frank Evers]

Hi

I installed eyefi-config recently and tried to configure my Pro X2,
however the card isn't "seen". It's mounted correctly and i can access
the memory part without problems, however eyefi-config kepps telling
me it hasn't found any eye-fi cards. Running it sudoed didn't help
either.

Is this a known problem with the Pro X2? Is there anything that might
be missing in my installation?

I'm running Debian unstable and a Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel
I tried on 686 arch too, same result.

frank@lulu:~$ bin/eyeficonfig/eyefi-config-009/eyefi-config -f -d5
unable to locate Eye-Fi card
Please check that your card is inserted and mounted
If you still have issues, please re-run with the '-d5' option and
report the output

Anyone can help?

Make sure the card is mounted somewhere on your filesystem, then try it.

Have you recently formatted your card?

The official Eye-Fi software looks for know volume-ids of each of their
models. If it can't find the files that it needs on the card,
(EyeFi/{rsp,req}{c,m}) it goes and creates them. My software,
unfortunately, doesn't have that list of volume-ids. So, I don't touch
the card unless I find those files.

You can create them by doing:

cd /media/NAME_HERE_OF_CARD
mkdir -p EyeFi
dd if=/dev/zero bs=16384 count=1 of=EyeFi/reqm
dd if=/dev/zero bs=16384 count=1 of=EyeFi/reqc
dd if=/dev/zero bs=16384 count=1 of=EyeFi/rspm
dd if=/dev/zero bs=16384 count=1 of=EyeFi/rspc

I've been meaning to fix this somehow, but just don't have a good way to
do it. Any suggestions?

Yes, i guess i formatted the card a while back, but the files were
already present, probably EyeFi Center reinstalled them?

frank@lulu:/media/EOS_DIGITAL$ ls -l EyeFi/
insgesamt 128
-rwxr-xr-x 1 frank root 16384 9. Jan 01:21 REQC
-rwxr-xr-x 1 frank root 16384 9. Jan 01:21 REQM
-rwxr-xr-x 1 frank root 16384 1. Sep 20:14 RSPC
-rwxr-xr-x 1 frank root 16384 1. Sep 20:14 RSPM

would formatting and rewriting the files make a difference?
Any other conclusion?

duane, the card was mounted. I remounted just to make sure but the
result remains the same.

I am running into a similar issue.
My Card is a 4GB Connect X2. Class 6.

There is no EyeFi directory there. I am pretty sure the card was new,
and never formatted.
I create the files as described above, now eyefi-config -s shows me a
nice network scan.

Hmm, so i had a closer look and on the card and there was also some
gunk in the root dir that might have been a problem. I deleted that
and also the EyeFi dir, which i build up again following Dave's
instructions and it works fine now.

Thank you all for your help :)
