When my previous employer switched to Dell boxen (at my request,
thankfully) I found that virtually every driver the systems needed were
pretty much available in the vanilla kernels, but you had to run a
recent one (eg: 2.6, not the 2.4 series). Since then, I've found a bit
of support popping up on Dell's websites. In particular, they have a
Linux website that has Debian information available. You can find out
more at http://linux.dell.com/
