NDISWrapper and Windows XP drivers for bcm4328 work just fine for me.
I am running Hardy beta with latest updates, I have been using wireless wince alpha 4 without problems with an HP Pavilion tx1220ca which reports this from lspci:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
The drivers with NDISwrappers are for Windos XP, and are available here: h10025. www1.hp. com/ewfrf/ wc/softwareDown loadIndex? softwareitem= ob-53245- 1&lc=en& cc=ca&dlc= en&product= 3444231& os=228

Once i had the SP36684.exe file, I had to install the "wine" package and run it. The installer crashes however the files remain installed at ~/.wine/ drive_c/ SWSetup/ SP36684A. I also install ndsigtk (which brings along all ndiswrapper dependencies) and using the following command I point at the INF file in the above directory:
sudo ndisgtk
Then wireless drivers load and after a few minutes all surrounding wireless networks are visible and can be used.
