This is the version of Gphoto installed on EeePC.
(2.5.15-2)
I do not know how the communication works between Gphoto, Libgphoto and Ekos but I think it might be useful to know that with these versions of the software the Sony A7S is usable.
I hope this information can be useful to find a solution
I would try to uninstall all Gphoto and Libgphoto and reinstall old versions on the ASUS T100 but I'm a noob and I have no idea how to do without combining disasters
