It's usbhid, as you can see in the "lsusb -t" output above. As Eric is absolutely not the first person ever who got confused by this (and I can certainly understand the reasons for this confusion), I've been thinking for quite some time already about renaming this driver (and usbmouse as well). We'd probably want to make obvious from the name that this isn't regular usb keyboard driver. Any opinions on usbkbd-simple or usbkbd-dummy? The most accurate would of course be usbkbd-boot, but that might be equally confusing. The drawback I can see in renaming the driver is various embedded folks having he name hardcoded in their scripts.
