Dell 600m + Intel 2100

My Dell 600m running WINXPPRO and with an internal Intel 802.11b 2100 card
can no longer detect my home wireless network. It sees nothing even when it
is sitting beside the wireless router (Linksys WRT54G v3.03). The router is
WEP encrypted.
I had been able to detect it in the passed whe I initially set it up.
I have even deleted the connection and reconnected. I have reenter the WEP
encryptioin key several times so I don't think is incorrect.
Any ideas how to reestablish the wireless connection?
Thanks!

Look for a little button that turns radio ON.

I have tried this but when I open the radio on/off screen, the section for
on/off is grayed out and inaccessible. The radio is set in the "OFF"
position.
It appears that the Intel PRO 2100 has been disabled in some profound way.
Anyway to reset it?

Ok, now please reboot and enter BIOS setup.
Wireless on D600 may be disabled there as well.
