Yes, I guess that'll do. The RPI does do things a bit differently than
a "normal" system, so there's no separate BIOS firmware really--it's
part of the rpi-update stuff.

Since your keyboard/mouse works under Raspbian but not under the Fedora
spin, I suspect the equivalent firmware patches aren't present on the
F21 beastie. When you get your new SD cards, could you try the off-the-
shelf Pidora (F20) and see if that works? If it does, then the F21 spin
you mention isn't "fully baked" yet.
