You got the report backwards.  Actually, the code you mention has to
be ENABLED for the Gateway keyboards to work.  The problem occurred
when they disabled the code.

I think they are going to hold off committing a fix until a proper fix
can be found (one that doesn't require the keyboard to be plugged in
on boot).
