I also have a synaptics - a vaio to be precise. What kind of firewall
do
you have? Or is it a HIDS? Anyway, did you mean capture (log?) or block?
I'm using a firewall, of course I captured the packets, but I also blocked the TouchPad program from accessing the network.
What's the frequency of the packets?
The frequency of the packets is occasional, it happens just sometimes when I open a new connection.
I found a very similar problem, and did the same thing. Also, I
found
thatthe TouchPad program was taking up a LOT of CPU time, even when it
was
docked. My performance improved dramatically when I did this. Very strange. Marcus
I didn't find this problem on my machine, the two issues may be correlated but I was unable to verify. Sorry. Valerio
