Please log in for more thread options WiFi on the device shouldn't work while AS is connected. There is a
compatibility problem with WPA-PSK on the PC and ActiveSync, also, when the
PC is running Intel wireless hardware. A search of the archives will find a
long thread on this topic. Yes, it's known that WEP doesn't have this
problem with the Intel hardware/software.
No, it's not solved in 4.2. It's actually Intel's software that's breaking
the connection, although I've not heard of the AS connection being broken,
too. Micrsoft has been in contact with Intel, but I have not heard anything
about a fix from either party.
