Re: Activesync Kills Wireless

Hi,
Please visit Intel's website and install the latest update for the 2200 card
you have. This should resolve the problem.

ActiveSync 4.x Troubleshooting Guide -

I have just updated my ppc2003 O2 XDA mini to a WM5.0 O2 Atom.

My mini could sync to my wireless laptop using AS 4.1 without issue.

When I try to sync the Atom via USB it kills my 802.11g WPA connection
(Intel 2200 to Billion 7402vgo).

If I sync via Bluetooth my wireless is not killed.

If I sync via USB with WPA-PSK turned off (unencrypted link) my wireless
is not killed.

If I sync via USB with a physical ethernet connection I maintain network
connectivity.

Once my wireless is killed the laptop needs a reboot to regain stability.

My easiest solution is to sync via Bluetooth, unfortunately Microsoft
have seen fit to disable WMP10 sync via bluetooth - no music transfers,
no license updates. :(

My second easiest solution is to disable WPA-PSK and run my wireless
link unencrypted. Like yeah, I really want to do this! Also I can't do
this at work. :(

My third easiest solution is to tether my laptop to a blue wire :( This
means I can't work at my desk at work, I need to move to another desk.

Doing a google search shows this is a confirmed problem. But nowhere can
I see suggestions that MS might fix this *BUG*. The MS website also
doesn't list any support options for ActiveStink.

Does anyone have suggestions apart from these three choices, or an email
address for the Activesync developers?

Thanks
