I don't know about SSIDs containing single quotes. Can you connect from other devices? Have you tried connecting manually? The single quote might need proper escaping which the wifi.sh script maybe isn't aware of yet.
For the touch pad, you can create an Xorg config like this
/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "0"
Option "TapButton3" "0"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "off"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "off"
EndSection
Change
Option "TapButton1" "1"
to 0, off, or false .
Then add the file to your backup
echo "usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf" >> /opt/.filetool.lst
filetool.sh -b
