The driver for USB is in the standard kernel. It just wasn't included in the 
initrd created during my installation, at least not the one for the USB 
keyboard, as I did the installation with another, old PS2 keyboard *and* chose 
"only necessary drivers", not "generic", which includes all the available 
drivers into the initrd, if I understand correctly. So, as no USB was being 
used during install the installer included no USB drivers in initrd, I think. 
In my case the problem didn't have anything to do with licensing or 
non-available non-free software or something like that.

Regards,
Stefan
