Question WiWi (RS21 1.2) on Spider Firmware 4.2.9.0

I realize this question is a bit abstract because I do not know what I did to cause it.

I have been writing some test code to show a problem I want to ask about and in the middle
of a debugging display I received the following output.


The thread '<No Name>' (0x5) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
    #### Exception GHI.Premium.Net.NetworkInterfaceExtensionException - 0x00000000 (1) ####

RS9110 firmware update completed
RS9110 firmware version Number is 4.4.5
RS9110 driver version Number is 4.4.5

Could I ask what causes (Intentional or otherwise) updating of the WiFi module firmware:

I noticed that my new Cobra II did that every time (at power) on until I loaded my first application and ran it.
It never did that again until I received the GHI.Premium.Net.NetworkInterfaceExtensionException - 0x00000000 (1) (Assuming that started it)

Thanks for any input

Have a GREAT day!

I have seen this message too a couple of times without finding a relation to other parts of the software… One method i found to reproduce this Update WiFi thing was PushBackIntoRecoverList(); This is an Extended Weak Reference related method. Are you using EWR?

@ RobvanSchelven -

EWR … No I am not. Only WiFi scan for SSID

@ willgeorge - Its an issue for the GHI WIFi / Cobra II crew
