A solution was found by NeoStuey in Mystiquemac Forum.

Here is his solution:
"I was only able to reduce my NC10's brightness using FN+12 but not increase it 
using
FN+INS so I deleted ApplePS2Controller.kext and replaced it with
VoodooPS2Controller.kext in /Extra/NC10Ext.

Then I deleted Extensions.mkext from /Extra and ran UpdateExtra in /Extra and it
rebuilt the Extensions.mkext in /Extra.

Rebooted and now it's working perfect without any noticeable issues."

Increasing the brightness using Fn-Ins works, if you replace the 
ApplePS2Controller with the 
VoodooPS2Controller. More information can be found in the thread mentioned 
above.
