Some observations:
- it isn't wskbd - my USB keyboard works just fine.
- no one ever seems to call wssunkbd_enable() - calling it by hand
didn't make it work but now the caps-lock LED blinks correctly and I
get 'unexpected scancode' from the kernel.
Apparently wskbd expects the keyboard device in an initialized state
but the current code leaves it inactive for some reason.
have fun
