Got it working. Thanks!
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.

Okay, finally an update on this issue. My Dongle from Amazon arrive
over the weekend, same vid/pid as you…

Patch is now merged:
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/ti-linux-kernel-dev/commit/7c4ed449b9506ca04147b55323d234f25c5aecb5
and pushed out to the build farm…
in roughly 6 hours from now, just run:
sudo /opt/scripts/tools/update_kernel.sh
and it should try to install “4.14.94-ti-r92” which has the fix for this module.
Regards,
