I've got almost everything working on my Lenovo 3000-N100 0768-36U. I 
haven't played too much with suspending, and I haven't got the last detail 
working on the software modem (slmodemd is using an audio format not 
supported by my codec).

When I bought the machine in September, there were a bunch of things not 
yet supported, or only supported in testing versions that are now stable.

ipw3945 is well supported (except that it's not on the install CD, so you 
need ethernet to install it). I didn't get a webcam.

You should probably also specify what features you want, rather than that 
you just want all of the features to be supported; I haven't used the 
firewire on mine at all, despite the fact that it reportedly works, and 
I've got a "Ricoh Co Ltd Unknown device 0843" that will never have Linux 
support because it doesn't actually do anything at all (it's the 
placeholder device for a 4-device-in-1-chip, where the 4 devices pretend 
to be various single device Ricoh chips and appear as 4 more devices).
