I followed this, and worked nicely. I have a booting F23 system now!
Thanks a lot.

You "have a booting F23 system," do you have a usable desktop display? I have followed the jonarcher procedure several times but always wind up with a nice XFCE desktop display but no keyboard or mouse control, it just does nothing at that point. I have been trying each time I see something encouraging written about it but without success and have pretty much given up hope for the RPI2b and Fedora ...
I am using the minimal image, so no, I do not have a desktop. But I do have a working keyboard and ethernet. Did firstboot run for you? If not, that would explain the issue for you.
I'm having trouble getting wireless to work though. I know my adapter works with the RPi since I have another RPi running OSMC using the same adapter without issues. I tested the adapter with my laptop running F22, that worked nicely. So I know it also works with Fedora x86_64. However it fails to work on the RPi with Fedora ARM. I checked the respective module is loaded 8192cu, although I do not see any rtlwifi. Trying to load it with modprobe gives me a module not found error.
It seems to me, the fedora kernel is not running. Any ideas how I can get it to run?
As far as I am aware you can't use a Fedora kernel on a Raspberry Pi 2, as it needs some modifications that the Fedora Kernel doesn't have (unless it has changed recently). One thing to check is that you have the NetworkManager-wifi package, probably the wpa_supplicant package as well as I don't think they are in the minimal image.
