 Wonderful idea!  I'll get one.

It's the ideal solution.  Thanks Alan.  Works straight out of the box
and proves to me that the Broadcom BCM4132 Wi-Fi chipset will not
connect to a Belkin F6D4230-4 v1 router (maybe others?).  Is there a
wiki somewhere for me to flag this up?  Obviously I've told Broadcom
(who said it's Dell's problem), I've told Dell, who said nothing, and
I've told Belkin who said it's not their problem (correctly, I guess).

I would, as a rule, also post into the laptop compatibility/ incompatibility thread in ubuntuforums
http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=332

ISTR there is a yahoo group 'linux on dell' or similar
