Help setting up Orange Pi Zero. How to add USB Ethernet for Internet?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up an Orange Pi Zero.

I'm connected from my pc to the Orange, and can access 192.168.1.1.

I want to use a TP Link UE300 Ethernet Adapter for internet, but I think I need to add a driver to make it work?

I've seen " kmod-usb-net-rtl8152" driver suggested. There's a page for it here but I dont see any download links: https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/kmod-usb-net-rtl8152

Currently the only ethernet port is being used to connect to my pc, so the Orange doesn't have internet.... So how do I go about adding the driver?

Thanks

Use Wi-Fi for Internet connection or reconfigure Orange Pi to be a client of your existing LAN and connect it over wired Ethernet to your existing router (if you have one).
Then install the driver in a regular way. The module you need is kmod-usb-net-rtl8152 Kernel module for USB-to-Ethernet Realtek 8152 USB2.0/3.0 convertors

Thank you. Nearly there.

Now I have Orange Pi with USB internet.

I can ping google from Orange Pi / OpenWrt. Yay internet works!

Orange Pi Ethernet is plugged into my PC

I can access 192.168.1.1 from my pc

I can't access internet from my PC. Lan works but no internet.
