    I had the same problem with my 600m. It turned out I was expecting it to work the way Windows XP normally does, but Dell has done something that forces you to use the QuickSet application (in the tray) to select a wireless profile. The frustrating part is that as far as I can tell this must be done every time you start up (even from standby). I haven't tried uninstalling QuickSet yet, but choosing its "Disable Wireless Management in QuickSet" didn't seem to help.
