I use the Windows NDIS drivers without many problems.  

I do have a problem with the ACPI EC.  It often times out resulting in battery 
and temperature not updating (and often power down doesn't work).  Syslog 
gets spammed with messages from the acpi module.  I hacked a crude patch that 
appeared to mostly fix the problems (but I don't believe it addresses the 
underlying problem).  Are you experiencing any problems with ACPI?

Never used bluetooth so can't comment.
