I also took a quick look through the firmware, lots of interesting stuff in the PRIMARY.BIN strings. The camera seems to use PTP over wireless in a similar manner to the way you hint at here.

There are also a lot of test routines in the ROM, including some references to SSID that appear to be Canon test network credentials.

You are correct when you say the setup is all done from the PC, so its a little less sophisticated in that sense than the modern WiFi cameras.

Sniffing USB is certainly an option, and I may well go down this route. I do actually have access to both a Windows box and VM and a Mac, so I may well end up using these to make some progress. I downloaded the MAC software .dmg and had a quick trawl through it to see if I could match up some strings or strike it lucky with a bit of XML or whatever, but nothing jumped out.

Ultimately it would be interesting to add the ability to connect to networks from the camera, but this is not really necessary.

Setting up the network from CHDKPTP would be a neater solution, and for that I would presumably need to figure out what exactly the Canon software does.

I'll keep digging, and let you know if I make any progress.

I suspect this may be of some interest, looks like a similar XML settings page to the one you describe, so we may well also serve up a similar web service..

There are a bunch of eventprocs related to wireless, some similar to modern cams, and some not so much.

debugCmd.* look interesting, as do tm.*

Also worth noting, since this is a vxworks camera, it presumably uses the normal VxWorks network stack. A lot of vxworks documentation is available through google.

Setting up the connection of chdkptp (usb) may present other problems, because (on modern cameras at least) only one of PTP/USB and PTP/IP can be active at a time.

There are quite a number of strings like that, I'm intrigued by...

"ffff0df5  Is it all right? (N/y)"

Its looking like I'm going to be a little busy with other things over the next couple of weeks, but if I get a chance, I'm going to have a crack at reverse engineering the camera setup proceedure from Windows at some stage, I'm curious to see where it stored the WiFi settings on the camera. Once I have that figured out, I should be able to make some progress.

On elph130, my impression is that the actual settings (known APs, keys etc) are stored somewhere on the wifi module rather than camera flash. I'm not totally certain of this though, and haven't looked enough at sd430 to know if it is the same.

Comparing ROM dumps after registering a connection may clear may or may not clear things up. I did this with elph130 but the results were a bit ambiguous. There were some wifi-related changes but they didn't obviously contain the connection info.

Another thought:
The test functions would be a lot easier to use if you had a way to send to the camera standard input. Obviously you would do this by wiring to the uart, but software ways should be possible too. This may be somewhat easier on vxworks because the driver system is documented.

Do you, or have you ever, had Mac working in a VM ?

Thats an interesting question. Yes and no, would be the answer. I have had PearPC working in the past, but don't currently have a working disk image. It is pretty easy to set up and run, and I suspect it might be about the right vintage to run the Ixus Wireless software. I may try this. It will run *some* versions of MacOSX (I can't remember which ones). I also own an ancient early iMac.

I haven't run the latest version of MacOSX  in an emulator though, no, but I think this is actually fairly easy with Qemu. 

I also played with BasiliskII a long time back, it was also quite entertaining for re-living the Mac Classic 68k mac days.

I have installed some versions OK but never got them to launch.

Not perhaps very interesting, but I just ran binwalk over an IxusWireless dump. So far I haven't managed to do anything particularly useful (apart from extracting a bunch of .jpgs which make up the the startup splash images and the timezone selection backgrounds.)

The output from binwalk seems to indicate a few false positives (those TIFFS at the start for example), but I'll provide the log of the results below for your amusement.
