No. Autoport only generates files that can be used as a starting point. It
is usually good enough to boot, but many things will not be
working properly.

To make a proper coreboot port for a laptop, one needs to add support for
the embedded controller, which usually handles the battery charger,
keyboard, touchpad and fan, among other things. Unfortunately, they are
almost always undocumented: no datasheets are publicly available and it
runs custom, mainboard-specific firmware. This is by far the hardest part
of porting a laptop.

Do you plan on porting any specific netbook? If the chipset is not
supported, porting it may take years even for an experienced developer.
