I think maybe is because the hxc are reading/write all the time, inclusive if the computer is not accesing.

I try the experiment with the hxc alone with nobody connenct to it, wifi appears a little seconds and then disappears. When hxc read config file.

If hxc can manintain the wifi active or implement a option to enable it to trasfer files . It should be relativity easy write a scrit to transfer files to the card using wifi.

The card lan features can be controlled from hxc

I make it work +- Only desactivated in options the autoboot.

Then you can upload a file, and hxc view it using the buttons.

To prepared the thosiba is easy:

Set UPLOAD=1 to CONFIG file. Using a pc with the card conected.

Now connect with the card wifi and in the web os from mobile type flashair/upload.cgi

Then you can upload a *hfe from the android mobile using wifi. Without extrad the card from hxc.

In the moment hxc load the file wifi dissapears :).

Its working partially.

I mean. Without enabled autoboot feature. Yo can upload a file, not matter if the computer is on or off. Then it appears in the lcd screen using the buttons.

In the moment the hxc mount a image,autoboot, or a *.hfe. The card disconnect the wifi.

I not know the reason it disconect the wifi, only you can trace it :).Maybe he can't access to sdcard and wifi can be at same time.

So the state is put on hxc witouth autobbot feature enabled. (at least with amstrad).Or with nothing connected to hxc.

Anyway the sd card can be controlled by your side in theory :).



In the other hand, if you have autoboot enable, but you not use autoboot original file, and you exchangue it with a game rename to autoboot for example.If you have the sd card empty.In the moment you upload it with wifi, hxc mount it automatically. And then wifi is disconnected.

Apart to these, the sd card can be configured to connect to your router and internet,so every device connected to the sd card can access to internet(at least in the wifi part).

Or maybe when hxc load a .hfe he power down the sd card?.

If hxc cut the energy to sd card, that explain why wifi en s lost. When loading .hfe

Anyway the Big problem is to reset the hxc you need unplug It from wall.
