What drivers are you using?  Are you using the ones from:-

http://sourceforge.net/projects/speedtouch

or are you using the one from here:-

http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch?

If the latter, I'd recommend the former since I've had much better luck
(and stability) with that then trying to compile it as a module into the
kernel.  It sounds like the problem that you've got with the system
freezing on shutdown is due to a bug with the latter's code and SMP in the
kernel.
