What do I need to enable in my (2.6) kernel to make USB keyboards work?
My newly acquired IBM keyboard/personal defence weapon and USB->PS/2 box isn’t working in Linux. Works fine in Windows and in my PC’s BIOS.
There must be some small setting I’ve not enabled as the converter box is detected and powers up, but that’s it.
The box identifies itself as:

And it has a little green LED that flashes, or stays on if I press keys on the keyboard.
It’s almost like it needs turning “on” or something.
