This wireless network device is disabled. please

Hi. Please check first if your computer was able to detect the device. You can look for this device in control panel then click system then click device manager. Your wireless adapter should be present under network adapters. f computer was able to detect the wireless adapter. Try to turn off/on the wireless switch. Usually, wireless switch is located infront of the laptop or on the side. You can also try pressing Fn + F5 key to disable/enable wireless network card.

The D600 has no hardware switch. Does the wireless device show up in your hardware device list? (Start/Control Panel/System/Hardware tab/Device Manager button/Network adapters). Mine shows up there as a Dell Wireless 1450 Dual band mini-PCI card. There are others that it could be. If it appears, double click on it and check it's device status. If no wireless appears there, then look for a possible unknown device under 'other'. If it is under 'other' then you need a driver.
Also, click Start/Control Panel/Network connections. You should see the wireless listed there. It could be disabled. Right click on it for options.
A lot more could be said, but try that for now.

to activate and deactivate wireless you hold down the blue fn key and press F4 with the little radar waves on it, each press toggles it on and off.

also you can right click on my network places and choose properties to see your network connections, check there that the wireless adapter is not disabled, if it is, right click and choose enable there too.

try going to your device manager, on the network adapter field, make sure you see the wireless adapter and enable it.
