I installed "openwrt-23.05.5-x86-64-generic-ext4-combined-efi.img.gz" on the laptop
root@OpenWrt:/# iwconfig (there are 2 wireless device one internal the other the AWUS036h)

Post lsusb when you have it hooked up.
Did you run opkg update before attempting the install ?
ubus call system board
opkg update
opkg install kmod-rtl8187 usbutils
lsusb
Thanks for your answer.

What's your use case ?
Yes I did an update before, even more than one.
Since there's no kmod-rtl8187 (anymore?), you could try
opkg install kmod-rtl8xxxu
Thank you for your answer, Itested your command but it did not bring the wlan's
Yes, thats in the referred thread that only client and monitor modes are available.
... and you still haven't told us your use case.
I use these AWUS036h since 20 years they works perfect using Kali.
Now for the first time i created a PC with OpenWrt to make a wifi to lan bridge.
The laptop internal Wlan device and the USB AWUS036h are not visible. On the same PC I booted with finnix 126 and borh devices are working.
Which kernel versions are those two running?
Ok, produce lsiusb and ethtool -i wlan0 and iw list from there?

I asked what kale kernel uses as a driver.
try xxxu driver.
Thanks for answering.
try xxxu driver.
