Actually, there is already a wiki page dedicated to UL30A:

If you are interested, I wrote evdaemon
( http://codegrove.org/evdaemon/ ) to kill the pain with the touchpad
( it can also act as syndaemon for event devices in general). Because
manually switching on/off the touchpad was not an option for me, I wrote
evdaemon to switch on/off event devices during keyboard activity. It's
Ubuntu-packaged in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~tuos/+archive/codegrove

There is also a gui-tool for configuring the daemon:
http://codegrove.org/evdaemon-admin/ 


It has helped at least me and couple of my friends in this pain.
