Well, sure.  Some AP manufacturers have been kind enough to use 
standard connectors, though (like the D-Link DWL-900AP+ that I also 
have).  Wish list item for Dell is to use a somewhat standard connector 
in future revisions of this product (and I'd be willing to pay more for 
this).

Yep that's the plan.
