I have the exact same wireless desktop and mine quit working as well.  I
install/reinstall/test various things on this workstation, so I had
reinstalled F9 and didn't run the xorg updates as of yet due to the
problems.  But you weren't running under the new updates as of yet, so
when you rebooted, it was then that you were running under them and that
is when your mouse wouldn't work.  You will need to grab the fixed
package from koji to get it working again I guess.

Bout to do it myself in the next couple minutes.  Will post the result
right after in case you want to wait.
