Question Why USB and WiFi doesn't like each other?

Hi, there;
I am developing a project with .NETCF2.0 in WM5 device. Now I found that I cannot debug WiFi when my device sits in cradle which has USB connection to my development computer. When debugging, if I disable WiFi radio and renewable WiFi radio, the program can see the WiFi, and then lost WiFi in about 30 seconds, when WiFi radio is just enabled, debugging shows that there are two adapters: USB and WiFi, but when WiFi lost, debugging infor shows only one adapter "USB".

I took the device out from the cradle and then open IE, I can open the webpage on our server, but it fails when I put it back in the cradle.

So it looks like the USB connection (ActiveSync, latest version) drops the WiFi connection which is very bad.

Can anybody there have solution to get around this?

It’s a Microsoft OS security thing. It seems that they think that having the WiFi enabled while a device is cradled is a security risk. I don't think that there is, but if anyone knows a way around it I would like to know too!
