Openwrt x86-64 no Ethernet driver

When I booted OpenWRT on Intel Celeron n4020 laptop, It seems the Ethernet is not working.
Because of this I can't connect it to the internet. I want to use USB WiFi adapter. But I have to install kmod-mt7921u package. I tried to install it offline, but there was so many dependency error. My problem is how can I get the USB wifi adapter driver, since I can't connect it to the internet.

The easiest way would probably be to generate a custom image for your x86 that includes kmod-mt7921u. Under "Customize installed packages" add kmod-mt7921u to the list, its dependencies will be pulled in automatically.

Thanks. I added kmod-usb-net-rtl8152, kmod-mt7921u and hostapd to the packages. Now the Ethernet and USB wifi are working. Thank you very much.
