What worked for me
After spending ages updating software, reinstalling drivers and generally mucking around, the following finally worked for me.
Restart, press F10 to get to BIOS and reset all settings to System Defaults.
For me it's the menu on the far right. Don't forget to save the settings.
What's the cause?
Airplane mode as introduced in Windows 8 appears to screw up the ability to control Wi-Fi via the hardware button. Luckily it fixes itself when the BIOS is reset.
