[luau] Mouse and touchpad on laptop

[Dan George]

I will do that. Its amazing how Netgear claims on it PCM  ver NIC card
(FA411) that its Linux compatible but only has 7.0 drivers and they dont
have anyone knowledgeable with Linux and reversed their claim that they
support Linux.  Im going to get the 7.3 pro ver but with a price tag of
$154, I dont know how my wifes going to take that.  I just like to get a
complete package deal.
