Can't get usb D-Link DWA 127 to work on RPI4 B

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hi,

I have installed OpenWrt on my raspberry 4 B. (which already has a wifi network card inside)
I am having troubles to get my usb Wifi D-Link DWA 127 recognized (in order to get another wlan)
I have installed these packages:

opkg install kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb kmod-usb-core kmod-usb-uhci kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb2 usbutils openvpn-openssl luci-app-openvpn nano

Should be fine since I found the device in : https://wiki.debian.org/fr/rt2800usb :
USB: 2001:3C1B D-Link Corp. DWA-127 Wireless N 150 High-Gain Adapter(rev.A1) [Ralink RT3070]

root@OpenWrt:~# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux 5.4.154 xhci-hcd xHCI Host Controller
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2001:3d04 MediaTek 802.11 n WLAN
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431  USB2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux 5.4.154 xhci-hcd xHCI Host Controller

The usb wifi device seems to be found but I can't get wlan1 detected. (wlan0 is the internal wificard of the raspberry). So it is not considered as a wifi device..

root@OpenWrt:~# ifconfig wlan1 up
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

Do you have any idea of what is going wrong ?

Thank you in advance,

Chances are that the vendor may have silently switched to different internals (realtek is cheap and plenty…), but re-used the same USB IDs. Check this USB wireless card on x86 and a contemporary general purpose linux distribution and/ or windows (which driver is being used, does it work, etc.).

Hi tried it on os windows 10 with success.

Drivers are
drivers2

It seems to be the same as rt2800. Am I missing something ?

Should I add manually some information concerning this usb device ? I have no clues.. :frowning:
