The Logitech webpage is
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/devices/154&cl=ca,en#
The normal operation does work transparently. There is a receiver
that plugs into the ps/2 ports. Establishing initial connection is
through connect buttons on the receiver and keyboard and mouse.
I ran the included SetPoint software in Windows and it had an option
for enabling encryption between the keyboard and receiver. Perhaps,
once it is enabled, it will continue to be encrypted when I boot into
Debian. I don't know if the software turns on a switch in the
hardware, or if it runs some driver that must be running in order to
get encryption.
