I'm trying to develop a program in C# 2005 for wireless PDA's/Pocket PC's. I need to be able to scan and connect to ad-hoc networks. However in my quest to start developing, I've come across that ActiveSync disables any internal Wi-Fi cards when it sync's with the desktop (apparently a "security feature" -

The ad-hoc networks I will be connecting to will be on complete different subnets, so any multi-homing issues shouldn't arise.
Is it possible to disable this "Security Feature"?
Cheers.
