[luau] Mouse and touchpad on laptop

[MonMotha]

In 2.2 you'll need to use NetGear's drivers (if any, I know they had 
them for the FA11 PCI card).  In 2.4, try the "natsemi" driver.  It's 
not a well known driver, but it is used on many netgear PCI cards (and 
possibly their cardbus/miniPCI ones).
