No he doesn't, the 4328 isn't supported by either drivers you mention.
ndiswrapper is the only way to get it working, sadly enough.

I have a tx1127 with the exact same hw:

grepping dmesg for ndiswrapper shows:
[   43.291257] ndiswrapper version 1.53 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
[   43.879547] ndiswrapper (link_pe_images:575): fixing KI_USER_SHARED_DATA address in the driver
[   43.879547] ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,10/12/2006, 4.100.15.5) loaded
[   43.899547] ndiswrapper: using IRQ 19
[   44.152542] usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper

So something isn't getting loaded right. The suggestion that wireless is
turned off might be right, I managed to get the status led and wireless
state out of sync by first turning off wireless (blue -> orange), than
suspend to ram (orange) and resume (blue) but actually wireless was off
at this point.

I'm running unstable with stock kernel "Linux tablet 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1
SMP Sat Jan 10 17:57:00 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux". I had to stick with
2.6.24 for a long time because I had the exact same problems you are
experiencing.

BTW I tried replacing this PITA with an other mini pcie card, sadly
that wouldn't get recognized by the system.
