PC Keyboard Hack on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion

TL;DR

sudo curl \
    -L https://raw.github.com/gist/3204240/ed7e118ca6e50071576bb33be7bab3201dc38d04/kext.sh \
    -o /Library/org.pqrs/PCKeyboardHack/scripts/kext.sh

Instructions

0. Open Terminal, iTerm, or whatever you use.

1. Install PCKeyboardHack for OS X 10.7

2. For safety's sake, inspect the current kext loader

   cat /Library/org.pqrs/PCKeyboardHack/scripts/kext.sh

3. For safety's sake, inspect the updated kext loader https://raw.github.com/gist/3204240/ed7e118ca6e50071576bb33be7bab3201dc38d04/kext.sh

4. Copy the updated kext loader over the original

   sudo curl
   -L https://raw.github.com/gist/3204240/ed7e118ca6e50071576bb33be7bab3201dc38d04/kext.sh
   -o /Library/org.pqrs/PCKeyboardHack/scripts/kext.sh

5. Now verify that the file is what you expect:

   cat /Library/org.pqrs/PCKeyboardHack/scripts/kext.sh

6. REBOOT!

P.S. None of this genius is credit to me. See discussion at pqrs-org/Seil#8
