What can I try for the multimedia keys ?

Try using usbhidctl(1) to see if the multimedia keys generate data. In the file
/usr/share/misc/usb_hid_usages you can find some possible actions.

If you have found the values that the multimedia keys give, you can use
usbhidaction(1) to execute commands when certain values appear on a HID.

Thanks for your answer, I tried usbhidctl(1) like this :

markand@Abricot ~ $ sudo usbhidctl -f /dev/ugen2.2 -a
usbhidctl: USB_GET_REPORT_DESC

Is this behavior expected?

For a hub it is.

What do you find in /var/run/dmesg.boot for ugen2.2?

Roland


This :

markand@Abricot ~ $ grep -i ugen2.2 /var/run/dmesg.boot
ugen2.2: <vendor 0x05a4> at usbus2

What is the line after it (try adding -A 1)?

ugen2.2: <vendor 0x05a4> at usbus2
ukbd0: <vendor 0x05a4 product 0x9881, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.10, addr
2> on usbus2
kbd2 at ukbd0

Try adding the -l switch and the name "Keyboard" to the usbhidctl invocation.
