Something I forgot to add... The keyboard_t struct kbd is passed to the ukbd_interrupt function. Within this struct, there is a ukbd_state struct that includes ks_ndata and ks_odata (new and current data?). Which part of the system actually fills in the ks_ndata struct? Is this filled in externally to the ukbd driver? Such as the usb hid driver? What I am getting at is my problem may not be within the ukbd driver but within the mechanism that fills in ks_ndata. If this is the case, I should be looking at that piece of code rather than the ukbd driver.
