If you want to use this keyboard for your console, then the easiest
way would be to create an input layer driver. I think USB and ADB
are the only keyboard drivers using the input layer in 2.4, but
just about everything is using it in 2.6.

There is some documentation in the kernel source. Take a look at
the stuff in Documentation/input/.
