I wonder how Ubuntu supports this ethernet chip?  It is amazing that  
only two Dell's use this chip.  Maybe it is not worth worrying about  
after all...

Don't kill yourself over this.  It is not the end of the world.  It  
appears I will be able to get my Intel 4965 Wireless working in which  
case I can use that.  I have lots of computers in which I can run  
FreeBSD.
