Same problem here, worked after a system restore for a few hours then started again, suspect the wireless card and its drivers.
cykelman, did Windows update update the driver for the Wireless card after the restore? That may be what is going on. Turn off automatic updates, and go through them manually as they come in. If you know the patch that is installing the bad Wireless driver you can mark it Hidden, and it won't get included in the patches to install each time you do an update.
I have mine set this way because I like to look at the patches before they are applied to my PC, and I usually delay a week before applying new patches unless there is a particular security patch that seems immediately essential. I usually have my drivers updated to the point I never see Microsoft driver patches - but it has happened - and that is my cue to go looking for that patch from the OEM or Asus on my own and apply it myself - then recheck for Microsoft Updates and their driver patch is no longer listed.
When installing Windows from scratch, or while restoring using Asus Backtracker recovery flash or from F9 I always do it with no internet enabled - if I can't affect the wireless I turn off my router or wireless so that I can go in and disable automatic updates from Microsoft and uninstall the Asus Live update app.
If you find the Microsoft patch in question in history now, you can know what to look for later, and maybe uninstalling that patch and installing the original driver with Asus Install (in C:\eSupport) will solve the problem for now.
