Hello,
I installed openwrt on an asus_wl-500w, but i could not install drivers for ralink device. Please see below:

Seceond try:
Then I tried to compile from source and had the following error:

Third try:
Then I tried like this https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/imagebuilder
make image PROFILE="asus_wl-500w" PACKAGES=" kmod-usb2 kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb" FILES="files"
Collected errors:
- opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-rt2800-lib.
- opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-rt2800-usb.
- opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-rt2x00-lib.
- opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-rt2x00-usb.
What to do to be able to install drivers for ralink device (kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb) ?
Thanks!
