more machine issues

Greetings,

As I get further into the configuration of my new machine I've hit some 
minor snags. Perhaps someone here knows how to resolve these issues:

1) The machine does not cleanly shut down with the rt kernel. The system 
appears to go down, but the power light remains on and does not turn off 
manually (this happens with the battery in or out). Any fix for that ? I 
don't like having to switch off the power at the strip, I doubt that 
it's good for the box.

2) Is there a way to permanently disable the touchpad ? It's annoying to 
have to turn it off manually (i.e. from the GNOME Control Center) every 
session.

3) Related to 2: How can I keep the Control Center's touchpad dialog 
from changing my Fluxbox background every time ?

4) Not really a problem, but: What's a recommended wifi card for a Linux 
notebook ? And will the Atheros driver in 8.10 work or is it broken ?

Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is working nicely here. I'm waiting for a 
fix to Ardour SVN sources so I can compile Ardour 3 (my GTK is too new 
!), but otherwise it's fitting all my needs, thanks again to the great 
assistance I've received here.

Best,

dp
