Hi,

i have installed a usb to ethernet adaptor on my raspberry with OpenWrt for configure one more interface but OpenWrt didn't recongnize it.

Can you help me?
I tried to install drivers for usb but the problem persist.
Here some dubugging command that i have tried:

Which drivers? What does lsmod show for USB Ethernet drivers?

I see drivers for an 8150 and 8152 in the package table, but didn't immediately see one for the 8153 (this doesn't mean that it isn't supported by one of those two).

I suspect that installing package for the 8152 (kmod-usb-net-rtl8152) may resolve things for you. I don't see any USB Ethernet drivers there, but then again, my coffee hasn't kicked in...
