Hello.
I would like to update my newly acquired Sony NEX camera's firmware. The supplied firmware is packaged in a .exe that's listed on Sony's site as compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7. I ran the .exe under WINE, which was set to XP. The program executes and opens its dialog. The first thing it does is try to find the camera, connected via USB, and determine the current firmware version. Unfortunately, it is unable to find the camera.
Sad to say, but these things need either special drivers, which Wine
does not support, or direct access to the hardware, which Linux may or
may not support.
You may have some luck patching Wine with the USB driver 'hack' that is
referenced on the Wine Wiki.
