OK then, since the tilde sets me in a directory I wasn't expecting, 
MAYBE I have a partial explanation (and solution?) for the following issue... 
I tried the following: 


   [computername]:~/Downloads/firmware-temp$ sudo cp v41-cx23885-enc.fw /lib/firmware/ 
   [sudo] password for [username]: ********** 
   cd: cannot stat 'v41-cx23885-enc.fw' : No such file or directory 
   [computername]:~/Downloads/firmware-temp$ 

I'm betting that I have to change the cp's pathname to something like ../lib.firmware/  (i.e.: add the two periods). 
Am I very far off, or could that be the problem and solution?
