>Description:
When I boot FreeBSD 6.2 the wireless keyboard doesn't work.  It's a microsoft wireless comfort keyboard model: 1045

When at the login prompt nothing is working on the keyboard but, the wireless mouse is working.

If I use any other operating system it seems to work fine. Also, I used FreeBSD 6.0 and 6.1 and it wasn't doing it.

It seems only FreeBSD 6.2 has that bug.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot with the keyboard and mouse wireless kit. 
>Fix:
To fix the problem I unplug the ps/2 keyboard from the keyboard port and plug it back in. As soon as it is plug back the keyboard rework.
