I'm having the same problem.

I'm running OS2008 Beta and I've enabled host mode using the "echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_..." method (because I'm using a female-female adaptor, rather than a USB-OTG cable).

The keyboard is detected and "works", but drops a LOT of characters, making it unusable (worse than the repeating characters when using a BT keyboard... which was the problem I was trying to solve by going USB).

Is the only solution to supply power? Do other USB keyboards (mine is a KeySonic Nano) work correctly without power?
