I found a Beagebone for Dummies post and figured out why I could not write to
protected files. I had to log in as a Superuser. Once I did that did that I
wrote the workaround in. Unfortunately the drivers file lacked the r8188eu
driver necessary to link the dongle.
I have a trouble report to GitHub for a patch request.
Thank you for your help.v/r David

Which is NOT "ls -l " to show owner/protection

The disk probably contains Windows drivers -- very few devices are
provided with Linux drivers (and even if it did, it would be for an Intel
architecture, not ARM -- unless it is provided in source code form so it
can be compiled on the target system). Either the device is already
recognized by the OS and has a built-in driver it can load, or one ends up
downloading the package from the distribution's package manager (and that
will require a network connection -- most likely via a CAT-5 cable to some
router connected to the internet).

By using the various commands I showed /with the file name you need to
