I am very glad to find somebody having the same problem as me! I have been searching google for the last hour trying to find some information about this issue, but couldn't until now. Anyways...

I have a HP dv7-1025nr with the same exact issue as above, I bought this laptop about 1 month ago. The only difference is when I disable and re-enable the wireless adapter, it doesn't fix it. When I touch the wireless touch button, it won't change to blue from the orange color, even though my screen will say it is disabled/enabled. Even when it says it's enabled, I can't connect to any networks. Believe it or not, I have already sent the laptop back to HP to get fixed for this problem and they sent it back and it was working like a champ until tonight. I am so pissed off...I have only had this thing for a month and it broke twice already. There is something wrong here. I'm about to try to just get my money back for this thing from Best Buy. I'm not going to deal with a brand new laptop breaking all the time, especially when I spent $1300 on it. As the OP stated, if anyone knows of a permanent fix for this, please let us know! Otherwise, I'm going to start a fight to get my money back...

EDIT: I tried the disabling and enabling of the wireless adapter in device manager THEN diagnosed and repaired like the OP did and it actually fixed it to my surprise! Pretty sure this is no permanent fix though on the other hand...
