(Get the code!)
Sounds like we bought the same system; and, I too plan to develop/play on this Vostro!
Your grub circumvent suggestion works fine, but I only rebooted 3 times! Let me know if you need help [I used text editor and have a terminal log of pertinent changes]. Otherwise, I'm using Linksys USB adapter fine and have Dell 926 [known as a Linux "paperweight"] .
dmesg can give [too] much info but I debug it from watching the initramfs loop while ? determines UDMA speed of what appears a combined DVD/hard drive controller [unplugging Dell USB printer w/card readers helped sometimes when that routine did not have to run]. See bug 32123 [where I MISTAKENLY added comment] for many more details.
I'll let you know if this fails to work again; but, I'm not sure we are commenting at the right place again!
