Done!! Successfully disabled touchpad via BIOS.
And, no more turning on the scroll feature by accident. Yes!!
Question about wireless connectivity though ...
Is there a way to setup my system such that
1) connectivity is mutually exclusive
[either wired or wireless connectivity; not both;
having both messed up my network once]
2) when wired connectivity is available, wireless is automatically disabled
3) when wired connectivity is "not" available, wireless is automatically
enabled
Would be nice to have some connectivity intelligence setup in order to
avoid having to manually enable/disable wireless connectivity.
