Unfortunately it's a case of borrow a keyboard that isn't wireless to
perform the installation or install a different distro. I beleive once
installed, you could return the wired keyboard.
Fedora Core 2 intallation works with the wireless stuff.
Debian Woody works (although you might need to download & install the
e100 ethernet driver from intel to get networking going).
Best of luck with it.
