Thanks for the help!! But please forgive my ignorance. How do I create the image from the .tar file?

Is there a tutorial for it?

I am on my windows laptop. I used Win32 Disk Imager 1.0. To write the .tar to SD Card. It said it was successful but the potato won't boot.

It looks working from a driver perspective but the interface is in a <down> state. What happens if you do "ifconfig wlan0 up" ?

I get the below response.

ifconfig: ioctl 0x8914 failed: Operation not permitted

I have LE 11.0.6 on le potato with TL-WN725N wifi adapter, but the wifi doesn't show up as an available network. I only see my wired connection. I have ssh into LE and it seems to recognize the adapter as being connected. How can I make it show up as a option in kodi?
