Unable to debug Wi-Fi code in C# with ActiveSync

Asked by AGDSYS in Windows Mobile (Pocket PC / Win CE) Operating Systems, Windows MobileProgramming, Programming for 802.11x Wireless Standard

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" - http://blogs.msdn.com/wmshell/archive/2006/05/19/602219.aspx). Unfortunately this means I can't debug any WiFi code with Visual Studio since it will be unable to see the adapter! 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"?
