I've seen/used one with a Fedora 8 install on it
(reformatted/reinstalled of course) and NM works there.  One issue is
that neither wired nor wireless card is yet supported by upstream
in-kernel drivers.  The wired card driver (atl2 I think?) is in the
process of being upstreamed, and the ath5k driver doesn't yet support
PCI-E which is the Atheros part's connection method on the EeePC.

Out of the box, I'd imagine NM would work presuming a sufficient D-Bus
version was installed, the wireless driver supports WEXT correctly, and
there was a place to put a notification area (or you run
knetworkmanager).
