Not sure if this explains why it's not working, but after updating the BIOS
on my NC10 I had both a NICOM and BIOS version of 11CA.

(Brightness keys work while in BIOS (F2 key while power on), but you do
not want to reboot the computer to adjust display brightness.)

Using the nomodeset parameter in GRUB forces the brightness keys to work
(didn’t work some weeks ago when I tried that for the first time). But I
really liked Kernel-based mode setting, so it would be slightly
disappointing to use nomodeset to turn it off. Of course, non-functional
brightness settings are a bigger hassle than screen flickering, so I am
forced to nomodeset.

As others are reporting brightness keys working on NC10: Could the LPIA
instead of i386 be the problem for me? (kernel 2.6.31-14-lpia)
