One quibble - although certifying FOSS generally (e.g. all versions of Linux on the market) is harder than certifying proprietary software, certifying a clearly identified release (e.g. Ubuntu 8.04.1) is not. Thus, Canonical could certify their Atheros drivers in Ubuntu to suit the commercial needs of Dell, and could update that certification whenever the drivers change. This would avoid Dell needing to use proprietary software to prove that things are sufficiently secure.
