USB wifi dongel not working

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

hi, i am new to OpenWrt, and im just trying to find out what works or not, and ive been trying to configure my usb wifi dongel. Except it doesnt seem to work. i am completely new to this so i might not understand everything in one go.

the usb wifi dongel was from a different project so to be honest i have no idea what wifi dongel is is.

when i do ifconfig wlan1 up i get the error "ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
"

when i type lsusb i get this output

1d6b:0002 Linux 5.15.134 dwc_otg_hcd DWC OTG Controller

and when i type exec dmesg -c i get this output
