I don't think so.
Try "rmmod hci_usb" (you might need to rmmod uhci_hcd first; reload it
after unloading hci_usb) and the load hci_usb with

modprobe hci_usb reset=1

I have read on the bluez-devel mailinglist, that this solved a similar problem
on a different dell model, see also

Can you post "lsusb -v" and check if this is also a broadcom 2045 dongle
(might also show up in /var/log/messages).
