Indeed, the Vostro 1510 uses a (Dell branded) PhoenixBIOS.

I will attempt a firmware upgrade (manually downloading/compiling/running
b43-fwcutter) when I have access to this laptop again (later today).  Debian
bug #561450 covers the fact that the Debian b43-fwcutter package is too old;
I have added a post to that bug report mentioning the v478 firmware + the
"Fatal DMA error" message (the original bug reporter did not check his
dmesg).
