First, why would you be going with 10.4--is the "long term support" important to you? If not, I'd go with 10.10--each time, they seem to get better with most hardware detection and support.
Second, with my old HP laptop, I had seemingly endless trouble with wireless. It seems the network manager app has difficulty with WEP encryption, especially when it is an ASCII password. The first thing I did that worked flawlessly on that score was to remove the "network manager" app and install wicd--which worked like a charm. Later, I went to WPA2 encryption instead, and have had no trouble with network manager--plus, of course, it is more secure than WEP. As for your mouse--I take it you have a trackpad as well as using a mouse? At times, the two can conflict. If you're going to use the mouse anyway, try disabling the trackpad and see if the problem goes away.
