USB network card does not work via usb 2.0, but USB flash drive works, all packages are installed kmod-usb-storage and etc kmod-usb-scsi

I have 2 usb network card

lsusb in my linux pc:

Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0bdb:8352 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

and second card

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 0b94:1990 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet

both cards are not recognized in openwrt and are not in Devices list, so I cannot create a new interface. I wanted to use USB as another third LAN port.

I have installed kmod-usb* packages

Which USB Ethernet related packages have been installed?

Since those are ethernet adapters (and not storage devices), you need to install the appropriate packages for them.

Have you done that?

kmod-usb-net-asix-ax88179 - 6.6.73-r1 - Kernel module for USB-to-Ethernet ASIX AX88179 based USB 3.0/2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapters.

And for the RTL8153, this particular chipset isn't called out in any of the RTL driver packages. I'm not sure if either of these will work, but you can try them:

kmod-usb-net-rtl8150 - 6.6.73-r1 - Kernel module for USB-to-Ethernet Realtek 8150 convertors
kmod-usb-net-rtl8152 - 6.6.73-r1 - Kernel module for USB-to-Ethernet Realtek 8152 USB2.0/3.0 convertors
