It is similiar and quite probably both bugs are related to some buggy irq/other resources assignment. But I would consider a wireless/touchpad and USB/touchpad to be related but separate bugs, related either to the wireless card and USB controller or to the BIOSes of both laptops
Anyway, I suppose I have a bigger problem because some time ago I had a similiar problem with reading audio-cds (normals work). I'll try to reproduce it at some time. -- bcm43xx causes touchpad instability and system freezes https://launchpad.net/bugs/63919 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
