I'm upgrading this unit to Beowulf as I type, and have chosen to go with the already built firmware from the raspberrypi repository on github, which is what I've done until now, and which seems to have what I need still. I may play with the raspi-firmware package later, but that will be on a test install. If I determine that route meets my need and is easier to upgrade via apt-get dist-upgrade, I may switch to it in the future. Thanks to everyone for your help. I consider the issue solved.
