Got it. ehci.c v 1.42: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/usb/ehci.c?rev=1.42&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup Put this version in place in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb, comment out line 766 and rebuild your kernel and the DRAC5 keyboard will start to work. The commit note says MFC after 2 weeks, but this seems to have been missed. I'm going to ping the maintainers and see if I can get it MFCed before 6.2 comes out. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
