So we have nifty ruggedized Pocket PCs with wireless cards that support
every protocol under the sun...and laptops that currently connect to
these PPCs via a horrendous USB 1.1 connection. I know AS 4.X has
removed the ability to sync over wireless. No question there. But I
know VS has other connection transports that can be used to connect a
device to a host computer. And we're still using ActiveSync 3.8 in
many places b/c the target device runs a version of CE 4.2

Question: Has anyone found a way to (successfully) use Ad-Hoc wireless
networking to debug within Visual Studio 2003/2005? Let's assume we're
talking about a machine with ActiveSync 3.8 installed.

You should be able to connect your Windows CE 4.2 device to ActiveSync 4.2
via WiFi. Then you will be able to debug via this connection.

First of all, you need to create a partnership (use a cable or IR for that).
After that you should be able to connect to your desktop (the connection
should be initiated from the device).
