Robert! Much better. I get WL/BT leds fully lit, which I neglected to mention were previously unresponsive. But USR0 led is kind of in tachycardia. OK, heart rate is down now. Added your line below line for 1835 which was commented out... ##BeagleBone Black: wl1835 #dtb=am335x-boneblack-wl1835

Mark, Thank you. However, I just found at solution. I was trying to SSH into the 192.168.7.2 address which wouldn't work because the virutal adapter didn't have an address on the same subnet. However, after reading some other threads I switched to the 12-12-2016 image and everything seems to be
