Problematic *nix hardware support on consumer laptops? I, for one, have never heard of such a thing.
All kidding aside, step #1 to possibly receiving helpful advice is to identify your netbook as precisely as possible.
If you haven't already done so, check with the Ubuntu forums. It's not uncommon for Linux to require tweaks on laptops to get those special keys working (display brightness, volume/mute, wifi radio, suspend/resume, etc).
