    Not only my adapter. WHOLE NETWORK DIES. :mad:

    This affects different adapters and routers using WPA. (Not only Intel :eek: ). The sympoms are the following:

    Everything is ok until you plugin the Pocket PC USB cable. Wireless dies, tries to reconnect and fails. The same is ON THE WHOLE NETWORK.
    If you unplug the device and restart it works fine.

    Solutions:
    1. Use WEP and MAC filtering. Not good for me. ;)
    2. Try 4.2 beta Activesync - it didn't work for me. :mad:
    3. Try Intel Proset 9.0.4.8. It works for some people. :)
    4. The issue is in the Pocket PC RNDIS USB setting. HTC has released the cab that changes the setting into Serial, so it can be resolved. And it finally worked for me :).


    Cheers, and I hope it resolves this very strange issue for you!
