GWF-3S03 chipset Ralink RT5370

Comrades, good afternoon.
Please tell me what driver you need to install in order for the wi-fi adapter to work on the Ralink RT5370 chipset? System Snapshot of OpenWrt for Raspberry Pi 4B
Thank you very much!

You correctly noticed everything, thank you for the information.
But I didn't create the theme with ease, since I already installed it using the command:

opkg install kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb

But the result is no, the Wi-Fi adapter does not work :frowning:
What else is required, I cannot understand. Thanks.
I also connected the adapter to a Kali Linux machine. Loaded modules match

Maybe you're missing the general wi-fi support?
Check/install kmod-mac80211 kmod-cfg80211 iw wireless-tools wpad
Please refer to https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/wireless.overview

kmod-mac80211 kmod-cfg80211 packages were already installed.
To install iw wireless-tools wpad appears:

Collected errors:
 * check_data_file_clashes: Package wpad wants to install file /usr/sbin/hostapd
        But that file is already provided by package  * wpad-basic
 * check_data_file_clashes: Package wpad wants to install file /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant
        But that file is already provided by package  * wpad-basic
 * check_data_file_clashes: Package wpad wants to install file /usr/sbin/wpad
        But that file is already provided by package  * wpad-basic
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package wpad.

But I don't think it has anything to do with it.
There is also a Wi-Fi adapter Atheros AR9271, after installing the drivers:

opkg install kmod-ath9k-htc

everything works perfectly, no problems.

rt2800-usb-firmware ?

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install rt2800-usb-firmware
Package rt2800-usb-firmware (20200122-1) installed in root is up to date.

Have you seen this?

Wireless Country Code Issue

The Country Code under Wireless in OpenWrt does not work, and you do need to set/change the country code in the latest Raspbian, and then you can go back to OpenWrt; the new country code will be used. Starting with Raspberry Pi 3 B+, the on-board wireless won't even start if there is no country code (set in Raspbian)

Yes, I've read this, but I'm not sure that it concerns me, my internal Wi-Fi adapter works fine, without any additional settings, and other adapters also work, such as MediaTek MT7601U, and the one I mentioned above...

OK, then please elaborate on Wi-Fi adapter does not work
Show the relevant part of your log, show your wireless configuration, etc.

One stupid idea. Your adapter usb vid&pid simple absent in driver code. Show output of lsusb command or just check usb id.

Ok. Next step. Show dmesg output and content of /etc/config/wireless (w/o password :))

radio1 was detected but disabled by default. Is it your adapter? Remove

 option disabled '1'

or change to '0'

Thank you for advice. But please forgive me, I gave You the wrong data, the radio 1 module is a different wi-fi adapter, not the one I need. I reinstalled the system and installed everything.

So the radio 1 module is not created in the configuration... maybe I should create it manually... or I don't understand something... can you tell me what to do next? how do I fix the problem? Thank you very much

another note, I didn't find any downloaded modules from the wi-fi adapter drivers:

Friends, do you have any thoughts on this issue?

Unplug and replug the USB adapter then read the kernel log to see if any driver loaded.

Friends, thank you all very much for your advice and help. The problem was solved. The problem was my inattention and incompetence, I was installing the old version of snapshot, came across a new release, installed it, installed the drivers, the adapter started. Thank you all again
