In this paper we give explicit conditions that ensure that the action of the wild inertia group on the $\ell$-torsion points of the variety is trivial. Furthermore we give a family of curves of genus 2 such that their Jacobian surfaces have good supersingular reduction and satisfy these conditions. We address this question by means of a detailed study of the formal group law attached to abelian varieties. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0910.1212v1
