Well I thank you again for all your help. I have to get some sleep and hit this again tomorrow. After the reboot no dice, no wifi devices yet the driver is listed as installed. Same as before, driver can not be found anywhere.. even rebooted with the extension you sent me and that is same, can not be found.
I saw an error message flash by quickly during boot of something not initialized. It is clear the extensions are not installing into the correct location in the file system.
good night.
