Am running Linux. Putting something on SOURCEforge that only has executables will not allow those that opted out of Microsoft to enjoy it.

Petr,
thanks for that post! It is not very clearly explained in Pentax/Ricoh's documentation that Wifi in a K-S2 camera means that it acts as an access point.
So, if you live in an area where there is already a wifi network, e.g. to get onto the internet, and where your phones and pads have been programmed to connect to that, those devices need to be told to log on to the camera's 'own' network. The encryption method is psk2.
The K-S2 camera access point will announce as its SSID (wifi network name) something like 'PENTAX_9abcde' where the 9abcde stands for a string of six hexadecimal characters.
Quite alarming is the fact that the default password is something like 'xx9abcde' . So from the broadcast network name you can know 6 of the 8 password characters.
Or in other words. With the wifi switched on, the data in the camera are not very safe; at most 256 attempts will allow anybody to connect. The above is after the latest firmware upgrade, to version 1.01. Did not check this with 1.00. All hexadecimal characters, including the xx, are taken from the end of the MAC address. It ought to be possible to change the password, and giving the camera a catchier network name would be nice as well, but do not know (yet) how to do this.
