I am not seeing the line in lspci output for your I226-V. Is it visible within the BIOS or if you boot into a live linux USB (ie Arch Linux ISO)?
I also do not know how the M.2 slot affects things... is there a corresponding kmod needed to drive it? This ambiguity coupled with the minimal nature of OpenWrt in general really makes me want to confirm that the hardware is functional on a full-blown distro (ie one that does not require you to know which kmods are needed).
I will have to try a live USB. In the bios, not may options are there.
I will try the live USB. The Realtek is the onboard one. Trying to add another one via the m.2 slot a wifi/bluetooth combo card was in.
Yes, I am not sure about the m.2 slot. Good point if there is another driver needed. I will check the packages to see.
I edited my post above. I think the live USB is good as a control experiment. Rule out hardware issue. As a bonus, if you see it under the live distro, recommend you save the dmesg output from that as well as the lsmod output. While you're at it, save the output of lspci -v to a text file as it can give clues as to which kmods are needed.

ok, I tried with GRML live USB. Same, on lspci and dmesg. It's strange the lights on the port lights up when a cable is plugged in but the OSes are not showing anything about it. This is what I had bought and seller shows it detected in windows but may require a driver off the CD they sent which I have no clue how to make work in OpenWRT.:
Looks like the CD does not have a Linux based driver for I225/I226. I've already contacted the seller about a return.
Just for reference, here's what my I226-V on-board NICs look like, in case it gives you any clues.

I think this may be related. When I do a lspci -k in OpenWRT, it gives this error at the top of the output list:
Unable to load libkmod resources: error -2
root@OpenWrt:~# lspci -k -v

Googling it seems to reveal something closely related (I get -2, bug has -12) to Ethernet controller (at least in Ubuntu)
Found one for OpenWRT related to I226. Not sure I understand what the solution was.
