I downloaded openwrt-bcm27xx-bcm2712-rpi-5-ext4-factory.img.gz and flashed to raspberrpi pi 5.
Then for installing luci, I am trying opkg command and it says, command not found.
Should I be doing custom build from by adding some any packages in "Installed Packages" ?
Looks like I decided to join the party at wrong time!
I see that opkg get switched to apk in latest snapshots.
- In my system am I supposed to see the command apk? (I don't see it though)
- When I go to System->Software in Luci and click update list, It is still looking for opkg command and throws below error
Any direct pointers for my issue would be greatly appreciated, Basically I want to install kmod-usb-net-asix-ax88179 package. I could not go through the entire thread you linked.
use https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT&target=bcm27xx%2Fbcm2712&id=rpi-5
click tiny arrow, add your package to the list, then request build.
bonus: luci will also get added using this method.
Ok. I did that and Request Build and it got successful. Flashed the image.
And yes Luci got installed too.
However, After I plugged in the usb to ethernet adapter and trying to add that interface, I don't see eth1 in Devices list.
This same adapter on same pi was working fine on a older build.
If I could some way, install usbutils package, I could have used lsusb command to see if adapter got detected correctly.
EDIT - Tried doing a build by adding usbutils and build failing.
Building package index...

yeah, the package thing is a mess atm.
you could try the 24.10 snapshots instead, don't think apk is enabled in those

Thank you. I downloaded rpi-5-ext4-factory.img.gz build and flashed. That solved some of the troubles.
However usb to ethernet adapter is still not showing as eth1 under Devices.
I made sure that my adapter is detected with lsusb
But no eth1 in devices,
have you added it in the interfaces tab ?
then unplug the ASIX, run logread -f, and reinsert it, post the log snippet using the </> button.

search for AX88179A (they're not very popular, since they have a tendency to work badly) here at the forum.
one of the hits will be Dependency needed (maybe) for package kmod-usb-net-asix-ax88179
That was super helpful!
Installed kmod-usb-net-cdc-mbim and it got listed under devices. Let me proceed with further setup.
Strange thing is, Before doing on rpi5, Today I installed stable build on raspberry pi 2 (1.1)) and installed just kmod-usb-net-asix-ax88179 and used very same usb to ethernet adapter and it worked without issues.
