Arduino WiFi Shield Firmware Update

Hi Guys,

As anyone had any issues updating their WiFi Shield firmware?

I've done the first step in the procedure but the CMD comes back with a "Fail Timeout error" when trying to "Synchronize target". Before anyone asks... Yes, I do have the jumper connected across the programming pins.

I noticed that it is trying to communicate with the WiFi Shield via COM1 but when I look in Device Manager COM1 isn't assigned to the Wifi Shield. On that point, no USB driver was loaded when I plugged the shield into the computer so there is no port assigned to the shield!

Do I need a driver for the WiFi Shield to update the firmware and if so where can I find it?

Any pointers will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Adam
