Rather than removing a Wi-Fi network, it appears you've removed the Wi-Fi service. In OS X prior to 10.10, this means the AirPort shows Not Configured.
To allow configuration of AirPort, you need to add the Wi-Fi service back to the list of services:
Go to System Preferences → Network and click the + button to add a service.
Select Wi-Fi as the Interface and provide a service name.
This will allow configuration through the menu bar item.

@Nofel No problem! You can if you want; it'll still be in the question's revision history though. Flag for a moderator if you want an older revision deleting.– grg ♦Commented Jun 21, 2014 at 6:29

As even after installation, your hardware is not functioning, then it certainly HS. Do an Apple Hardware Test in advance mode (could take time)
