My EFIKA config is missing several USB devices, I'm guessing you added
ukbd etc.

I don't have a USB keyboard so haven't tried using this. Maybe some
changes are needed to cninit_kd() in ofw_consinit.c for the Efika
device tree.

I guess a USB ethernet adaptor would be the other short-term solution,
then you could still use the display.
