: btw this solution not working for me: usbd runned in debug verbose mode shows 
: me that on detach event usbd did not receive devname. So i had to add strings 
: vendor and product in "Keyboard" section. Is it possible to fix it somehow so 
: i can plug any usb keyboards? Or vendor and product is the same for any 
: keyboard?

I've been using devd to get around such deficiencies.  However, on
detach, it seems that I don't need to run kbdcontrol at all.
