I have the same problem too, here is what I do to work around the problem
until I can find a fix.
I found that I could Enable and Disable using the following steps:
1. Start
2. Right click My Computer
3. Select “Properties”
4. Select “Hardware”
5. Select “Device Manager”
6. Find “Network adaptors”
7. Click the “+” sign to open the folder
8. Right click your adaptor and select either “Enable” or “Disable”
