Model certainly does matter. My Vaio (stop laughing!) has an internal card that works fine with the standard orinoco_pci driver under 2.6. It didn't work with the 2.4 kernel orinoco driver, because Sony had changed the card identifier by one digit. This was submitted as a patch to the kernel driver maintainer, and in due course made its way back down to the rest of us.
I expect, since I've heard such things about Dell, that like Compaq and Sony they are playing with things to make them special.
