centrino wireless adapter turned off?

[nhergott]

My office just gave me a new Dell D600 with Centrino technology. They did not activate the centrino wireless technology because it was causing some kind of network problems. Those issues are now resolved, but they refuse to activate the wireless because they say I don't need it (huge stingy corporation). I don't need the wireless to function at work anyway, but I would like to be able to use it with my home network. I installed and ran the Intel Centrino Mobile Technology Test Utility from intel's website, and the following is what it returned. Does anyone know how I can turn on the Centrino wireless network adapter, and any drivers that I might need along with it? Thanks in advance for reading this!!!

Oh, and my OS is Windows 2000 Pro
