The problem is that the Nano transceiver also provides a keyboard, which is
set as default.
See /etc/devd.conf and:
# When a USB keyboard arrives, attach it as the console keyboard.
attach 100 {
device-name "ukbd0";
action "/etc/rc.d/syscons setkeyboard /dev/ukbd0";
};
detach 100 {
device-name "ukbd0";
action "/etc/rc.d/syscons setkeyboard /dev/kbd0";
};
Which probably should be updated.
