Start, control panel, device manager, network, 1397 adapter, power management. Uncheck the box, allow Windows to turn off this device to save power.
Also under advanced, look for Antenna Diversity. I'm almost certain the 1397 has Antenna Diversity. Change this from Auto to Aux.
Look for Microsoft Virtual Mini port adapters, click on power management. The boxes need to be checked, allow Windows to turn off this device to save power or the Microsoft Mini port adapters and the WiFi adapter go missing.
I encounter the same problem. Once disabled, cannot connect with my smartphone again. The phone can detect the wifi signal from my laptop but always in the obtaining IP address status. And also done all what you've done. Still in vain.

Since it is a Microsoft issue, you should try asking at the Microsoft forums http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us

I think it's a bug in its programming!!
