hi, i very new to openwrt, my problem is that iI have 2 card one onboard and another pci expres, both are detect but only the onboard is working as eth0 the second one i can't find it, not even in luci qhen i create and interface. How can i add it as eth0 (or any other name) so i can configure?
Can you see the interface in ip link ?
If not, is the interface detected dmesg | grep -i eth or lspci ( <- will need pciutils package)

i can't see it in ip link o dmesg, but I can see in lspci
You probably need to load modules/drivers for your card using the correct kmod-XXXXX module. eg realtek devices you have to load something like this...
opkg install kmod-8139cp kmod-8139too kmod-phy-realtek kmod-rtl8xxxu pciutils

It would help troubleshooting to paste here what you see.

It looks like the detected card is the realtek, so you need to add the modules for broadcom too.
kmod-tg3
from https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/hardware/soc/soc.broadcom.bcm47xx
New Broadcom devices with gigabit Ethernet are supported by the bgmac kernel driver. Unfortunately CPUs on most of these SoCs are too slow to provide 1000 Mb/s routing or NAT. It results in NAT being limited to something around 130Mb/s on BCM4706 and even less on slower units (like ~50Mb/s on BCM4718A1).
Maybe try...
opkg update && opkg install kmod-bcma kmod-bnx2 kmod-phy-broadcom
and then see if the ip link's show up
With this package works, thanks
But as I install everything else including trentmu recomenbdation, i don't know if I need something else.
When i make the final instalation i will depure this a test it.
Thanks for your help
