I just put FC7T4 on my Sony with the same basic wireless setup.  It 
stays connected for about 30 seconds then won't reconnect without a 
reboot. I'm going to wait for FC7 release to try again. For the mouse 
pad, install the package "gsynaptics" via YUM.  It will let you control 
the touchpad and stop phantom clicks.
