Continuing the discussion from USB Wifi 5GHz dongles for a Raspberry Pi running a LEDE fork?:
So I got the mt7612u device. But it’s not showing in LuCi but it does show on lsusb command. Please help me find my way into configuration in this cases.
I believe you will need kmod-mt76x2u.
Have you run opkg update && opkg install kmod-mt76x2u ?
Thank you. I believe my openwrt version has mt7612u support “out of the box”
It does not, why would it - the RPi only ships with brcmfmac wireless. Anything you add yourself, will need a driver/ firmware to be installed. OpenWrt is primarily designed for extremely resource constrained devices, as a result only what's really needed for each individual device comes preinstalled in the default image.

The post just above their link (of their post in that thread) makes the point it is not OoTB supported.
On the contrary my friend it is running LEDE it makes the absolute point about the difference which holds it yes IN DEED supported OTB. Did you read it?
I just re-read the entire thread and I see you have managed to bring up the same discussion again.
As already pointed out in the thread you're linking to, you're not using Openwrt, but a 3rd party fw we know nothing about.
It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.
When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.
You may find that the best options are:
- Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
- Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
- Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).
If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.
Oh you didn’t catch it the first read? Weird.
Yeah I think it’s a generic issue. Not versión specific. Just need help in an issue wich is known in the community. Just looking for pointers not judging and prejudice attitude.
We don't, you've been told this muntiple times, in the old thread.
No dude, no one knows anything about your black box firmware, except for the vendor.
Yeah and then we continued the conversation. And yeah dude I’m not asking about my black box version. I’m asking what do you normally do when this happens. Independently of the version it has happened before to any number of users of the official version. It’s easier to help with a pointer than argue about anything else. This is so weird.
you've already been told, you install the package(s) required by the hw.
they don't ship with the image, and can be installed when/if needed.
not really, see above.

Yes really. I’ve seen it lots of times in several posts here. None of them got this judgemental response. You’re weird, dude.
Search for the kmod and find the dependencies and ensure they are, also, installed.
When you ask for help, help is suggested and you reply "supposed to work out of the box" you shut down anyone else with suggestions.

I thought the context of my build was enough to establish that this should work out of the box and then move on with other suggestions to fix it or to fix the failure. I don’t know like a log or something. Because if I don’t say it, then we will start following the steps without knowing it. Just going to be longer.
And I agree with the quote from unknown.
Well a good friend of mine set this post to close automatically in 24hrs, just because I continued a previous conversation and he didn’t like it. That’s due in three hours from now. I wish I could say thank you everybody for all the help but it’s not tthe case. This wasn’t helpful at all. This was an argue about the way i didn’t put it the way someone like it, and about my outside build and nothing about the core of the OS, something like “let’s find out what’s wrong with your log and why the OS doesn’t recognize it even tho “cat /proc/modules” says It supports it”. Nothing.

You checked on dependencies?
You went here, looked at all the dependencies and they were, all, installed?
