I just finished installing openwrt onto an old optiplex, plugged in the LAN cable to update and get luci setup, it doesnt display the message that a cable has been connected, nor can I access luci or ssh, if i do ifconfig it doesnt display the cable either.
You need to identify (less commonly used) network adapter. Boot some fedora or ubuntu live CD, check lspci and ethtool -i, then include respective driver in firmware-selector or imagebuilder lists.

You can use lspci with OpenWrt, you just need to manually install packages
