I would be surprised if the mouse worked while the keyboard didn't
respond. The adbhid driver handles both and has no 68k specific code.
My guess is that the driver for the controller doesn't work. The
driver for Mac II style ADB has been broken most of the time. In fact,
I don't remember any reports of it being completely working in 2.6.

My guess would be that your nubus card is handled by mac8390. The
onboard ethernet would be macsonic. I suspect they are both builtin,
but it's hard to say without looking at the config. The mii driver
is just a library used by many ethernet drivers, and it is useless
by itself. If a driver needs it, modprobe will load it for you.
