I haven't tried -current, as I need the NC10 to pretty closely match my
development machine at work that's running 5.0_RC3. I don't think the
wired ethernet would work with -current, but that's not an issue for me
anyway, as I'm using wireless via the built in Atheros chipset.

I haven't tried the SD reader as I don't have a card to test with, and
while the camera is recognised (dmesg attached), I haven't tried that
either. The bluetooth chipset is recognised, but I also lack any
bluetooth devices to test with. The Fn keys definitely don't work.

I mostly use the machine for developing in Java and C when I'm at home, 
and for internet access when I'm away. For those needs I'm finding the 
keyboard comfortable for extended use, and the screen size is fine.
