The best method I found for getting a Windows 7 Dell to stop being stubborn is to restart the wireless driver.
Toggling the wireless power is less reliable than soft restarting.
Making the soft restart easy involves downloading the Windows SDK, to get a copy of DevCon, and then stuffing it into a scheduled task so that you can run it without a UAC prompt.
(I mean this more as 'surprise surprise it's the drivers' than as a defense of windows)
