Re: Activesync 4.0 kills my wireless connection

I've tried all sorts of things to fix it. Different drivers (both
newer and older), different wifi access point, played with numerous
settings on the wireless card options, and many other things. The
only 2 things that fixed it was the change to WEP and changing the
Intel card for another one.

Please post if you have any luck with this.

Thanks
