is there any way to make it work?

Yes.

Upgrade to try a version of OpenWrt that runs a Kernel compatible with your dongle.

wait for 24.10 to be published for your device, if it isn't already.
if you're lucky, the driver's back ported from 6.13+.

if not, wait for the release coming after 24.10, or get something from the list, listed as supported by kernel 6.6 or older.

Try the rtw88 packages instead.
Just like Obi wan Kenobi, it's your only hope.

Then you're out of luck, and I'm out of ideas.
