My PDA is O2 Atom Life. In my office, I must use LEAP to authenticate to the access points. As everybody knows that O2 doesn't support LEAP, so I have used Odyssey Access Client to do that.

After installation, I created a new profile in OAC, power on the WiFi, wait few seconds, use IE to navigate on the internet and everything works fine. When I completed to play on the internet, I disable the OAC and power off the WiFi, there is no any error message appeared. After that, I connect and disconnect the WiFi for several times. Then I soft-reset my O2, I found that the phone calling service becomes unavailable. I have tried to disable/enable OAC, power on/off WiFi and power on/off phone service, but no action can wake up the phone calling service again. So I uninstalled OAC, then reboot. The phone service can work again and the original WiFi service also works fine.

Does anybody know the reason for the error occured? Is it that my usage incorrect? What is the order to enable/disable OAC and power on/off the WiFi?

I found a method that can recovery the phone service without uninstall OAC. The method is just run the "OdyIMCEUninstall.exe" in the OAC folder, and then reboot my device. I have used some registry viewing tool to compare the changes made by that program, the difference is in the NDIS device (that program may remove a layer from the networking stack).

After reboot, I run the "OdyIMCEInstall.exe" in the OAC folder and run OAC client program to enable Odyssey and dim the "Connect to" check box. Then power on the WiFi, everything works fine again. Both phone service and wireless service works properly!!

Anyone can tell me why OAC can affect the phone service? NDIS device is also related to phone service?

I think I get something similar on a Polaris I am testing. No simcard so I don't know about the phone, but if I install Odyssey it works, then after any reboot I have to reinstall Odyssey or I have no wifi access. Odyssey cannot even see any networks.
Is this the same? Any idea to try out appreciated.:confused:

As per what t2k269 said - I misread this as "uninstall" but running the install file fixes this. Good spot and thanks.
