I just saw a ad for a toshiba version of eye-fi called flashair.

FlashAir

 

Their FAQ says this:

 

I want to use a FlashAir™ SD Card in my digital camera. Do I need a special type of camera?

 

The only requirement to use the basic functions of FlashAir™ is that the camera needs to have an SDHC compatible slot. SDHC means, that your camera can handle SD Cards with more than 2GB Capacity. So if you have already used an SD Card with more than 2GB with your camera, the FlashAir™ SD Card will also function in your camera.

 

Has anybody tired this with a M9 yet?

I have used it in my X1 & 2, X Vario and M8.

Banding is not ordinarily caused by a bad card. It could occur incidentally with mucking with high ISO or under-exposure when pulling to 'normal' in post processing. I'll bet the card manufacturers simply have a "refund the customer in order to avoid the tedious explanations". Really, I don't know how a card could write a 'banded' image to SD.

There have been several reports of artifacts in photographs which occurred in the M9 with some kinds of SD cards but not others. One of the possible causes being discussed was the power drain caused by those cards when the camera read out the sensor data; I presume that it was thought that the power drain injected ripples in the power supply of the amplifiers.

For the record; I used an Eye Fi X2 Pro card in my M9 and it worked great but the distance to router was limited due to all of the metal.

 

True. It is a well known limitation. If you don't mind the risk, there is a way to use the M9 without the baseplate.

Naa...it worked well enough for me. If I was forced I'd get a plastic base plate or "modify" a stock one.
