Apparently not. For setting up the Eye-Fi, simply use the USB reader that comes with the Eye-Fi card (see http://www.eye.fi/how-it-works/setup for details).
This occurs only in some older MacBook Pros. The temporary solution is to turn on the write protect switch on the SD media. Sonnet is working on a permanent solution. This problem does not occur in the latest Thunderbolt-equipped MacBook Pro.
