Topic: USB external Keyboard

I have a USB numeric keypad connected to my hub, I see the messages on the console that the device was detected, but how do I get the keystrokes from the keypad. Are there any kernel modules that need to be loaded to enable this keypad.

it needs hid support. look at ticket 1322 : https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/1322

i got it all compiled for the wgt (2.6 kernel) but haven't gotten around to testing yet. this *should* attach the right driver to the keyboard, then you need a program that reads in the 16bit keycodes and does something with them. if you make any progress on it, do tell.

The discussion might have continued from here.
