Thanks Paul,
I'm getting closer, but I'm not quite at the skill level I'd like to be,
but I'm learning as fast as I can.  I'm following the info in the thread
you pointed me to with some variation.  
Since the Pi in question has no network connection yet, instead of using
wget, I extracted the spidev.ko file into a local folder on my debian
desktop computer.  
I made a temp folder alongside the tce folder in the /PCP folder on the
sd card and copied the file there.  
After inserting the sd card back in the pi and booting up, I then moved
the file into the correct folder in the /lib structure.  
Then I used vi to add the line to /opt/.filetool.lst.  
Backed up (pcp bu) and tested to see if that was enough.  
lsmod showed no change yet, so issued the commands: 
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe spidev.ko
now lsmod showed that spidev was loaded, so I needed to get these loaded
autmoatically
used vi and added the lines to /opt/bootlocal.sh
backed up and restarted
Good news, spidev shows up in lsmod now.  Bad news, still no network
connection.
I added a dtoverlay line in config.txt for the SPI,
dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835
Still no go.  I know you don't use SPI on your setup, but I'm hoping you
might point out some little step I have missed.
I feel like I'm really close...
