I got my EyeWiFi card to work with the Alpha!
I did that with a 5D3 and the 40mm 2.8 attached
I mention that as the lens FW adds one step to the FW upgrade (do not know if it is important so)
Here is what I had to do
1- Format with low level the eyefi card in the camera
2- Eject the card and plug it in my mac
3- Put the ML alpha in root directory, and eject
4-Then try to load the FW from the card in the camera
I get a black screen then nothing- no red light
5- Wait 5 to 10s and then remove battery
6- Open card door and remove card
7- Plug card back in
8- Put Battery back
9- Get a message that the FW is upgrading with red lamp blinking (activity)
10-Push delete and see ML Alpha welcome page
if step 8 still leaves you with a black screen and nothing, leave the card out on step 7
Turn off camera
Turn on camera
Now the upgrade process to load ML works as in a regular card
And
EyeFi function is operational
I tried this with both 8G and 16G EyeFi card, could only get the 8Gb to work, the 16G gives me the black screen all the time
