Load it, plug in keyboard, it should "just work".

Although we may have to diddle u-dev rules and notification messages ourselves a bit.
I plugged in a keyboard. It just DIDN'T work. USBnet off. No power to the USB keyboard. Perhaps a powered hub (though really, no more power needed than the USB sound dongle). Perhaps dancing with u-dev is in order. Perhaps dmesg can give us a clue, or perhaps not. Not sure yet... But at least we know cheap-ass sound sticks work just fine.

EDIT: Though really, what I want is a mouse, because of my flaky PW3 touchscreen. With a mouse, I could use the onscreen keyboard. But then I need to figure out how to implement a mouse cursor, or I would just be poking around blindly in the dark (even with the frontlight on), eh?
