Hallo Forum,
I had some (solved) problems with my Raspberry Pi, and a Linksys USB3GIGV1 Gigabit Ethernet USB device under OpenWrt 15.05.1.
Maybe someone is interested how I have solved the problem of the adapter is not recognized by the linux operating system.
Here is exactly what I did:

Regarding to the following WEB-page I need the following subtree of the
OpenWrt system:

Target: brcm2708
Subtarget: bcm2709
includet extra hardware
=======================
1.) Gigabit Ethernet USB Controller
Name: Linksys USB3GIGV1
Chipset: Realtek RTL8153
Driver description: https://github.com/rickhofstede/linksys_usb3gigv1_linux
2.) WLAN USB Controller
Name: TP-LINK TL-WN725N [V1] (Realtek RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN) Adapter
Chipset: RTL8188CUS
preparation
===========
We need some preparation before we can start to install a precompiled image to
our Raspberry Pi 2 Model B.
Unfortunately my gigabit ethernet adapter Linksys USB3GIGV1 is not supported in
the standard installation images.
So I have to cross-compile the OpenWrt-system with includet support for the
missing device.
installing prerequisites and their corresponding packages under Fedora 23
=========================================================================
This step is described very good under:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence
That means in my case:
→ installing prerequisites under Fedora 23:
sudo dnf install -v subversion binutils bzip2 gcc gcc-c++ gawk gettext \
git-core flex ncurses-devel zlib-devel zlib-static make patch unzip \
perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker glibc glibc-devel glibc-static quilt sed \
sdcc intltool sharutils bison wget openssl-devel
← installing prerequisites under Fedora 23:
let's do some cross-compile
===========================
Fortunately the OpenWrt crew distributes an easy way to adapt images to the
peronal requirements. The "OpenWrt build system".
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build
In my case the OpenWrt build system should be installed on a Fedora release 23
(Twenty Three) with kernel 4.5.6-200.fc23.x86_64.
I do some changes in the obove described build process, because I do not like
to install the current snapshot of the OpenMrt sources.
I would like to build the current stable version.
→ Update OpenWrt sources with Git::
mkdir ~/HUsFiles/tmp1/OpenWrt-Raspberry-Pi2B-15.05
cd ~/HUsFiles/tmp1/OpenWrt-Raspberry-Pi2B-15.05
git clone https://git.openwrt.org/15.05/openwrt.git
cd openwrt
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
← Update OpenWrt sources with Git:
The OpenWrt build system configuration interface handles the selection of the
target platform, packages to be compiled, packages to be included in the
firmware file, some kernel options, etc.
I started the OpenWrt build system configuration interface with the following
steps:
→ Image Configuration, menuconfig part 1:
wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/brcm2708/bcm2709/config.diff
cp config.diff .config
make defconfig
make menuconfig (just save and exit menuconfig)
← Image Configuration, menuconfig part 1:
Next is:
* produce a general purpose configuration of the build system including a
check of dependencies and prerequisites for the build environment etc
and
* check for dependencies
→ defconfig:
make defconfig
← defconfig:
Run menuconfig again:
make menuconfig
→ Image Configuration, menuconfig part 2:
... make your changes ...
For me ... I do nothing, because I would like to create a standard build
with all packages.
← Image Configuration, menuconfig part 2:
→ Creating a diff file and saving everything we have done jet:
./scripts/diffconfig.sh > diffconfig."`date "+%Y%m%d"`"
cp .config .config."`date "+%Y%m%d"`"
cp diffconfig."`date "+%Y%m%d"`" diffconfig
← Creating a diff file and saving everything we have done jet:
Run defconfig again:
→ defconfig:
make defconfig
← defconfig:
Building Images
Everything is now ready for building the image(s), which is done with one
single command:
→ make anything:
make world
← make anything:
... some hours later ...

Compile additional net-devices hard into the kernel
===================================================
After the build process described above, whe have a more or less standard
OpenWrt Image for our Raspberry Pi 2 Model B with all packages.
I prefere to build in the drivers for my two additional network-interfaces
direct into the kernel and not to build them as kernel-modules and load
them later as IPKs.
So we have to reconfigure the build process.
make menuconfig
→ Image Configuration, menuconfig:
Kernel modules → USB Support selection:
<*> kmod-usb-net.................. Kernel modules for USB-to-Ethernet convertors
<*> kmod-usb-net-rtl8152......... Realtek driver for RTL8152/RTL8153 (USB3GIGV1)
Kernel modules → Wireless Drivers selection

Problem
=======
see: https://github.com/rickhofstede/linksys_usb3gigv1_linux
"The Linksys USB3GIGV1 is based on the Realtek RTL8153, for which Realtek
provides Linux drivers. For the Linux kernel to be able to connect drivers
to hardware devices, the drivers need to carry the USB vendor ID and product
ID of the hardware. However, since the Linksys adapter announces itself to
the OS as a Linksys device (and not as a Realtek device), the Realtek driver
will never be attached to the Linksys hardware."
OK, so we have to patch the Realtek RTL8153 module to get it running. There
is a clean way to do that I know, but I have no time to get an idea how to
do a clean install (eventually over the git-repositories).
So here the my quick and dirty way.
A quick but diry way to get the Linksys USB3GIGV1 USB Gigabit ethernet adapter
running under OpenWrt 15.05.1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a git repository, with a new version of the RealTec r8152 driver
which is adapted to our Linksys USB3GIGV1.
It is quiet easy to integrate it into our image.
→ get the new RealTec r8152 kernel driver:
cd /tmp

"make" again:

Locating the freshly created installation-image
===============================================
After a successful build, the freshly built image(s) can be found in the newly
created <buildroot_dir>/bin directory. The compiled files are additionally
classified by the target platform, so in my case a firmware built for an
brcm2708 device will be located in
<buildroot_dir>./bin/brcm2708/openwrt-15.05.1-brcm2708-bcm2709-sdcard-vfat-ext4.img
.
flash the newly created OpenWrt image to a SD card
==================================================
according to:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/raspberry_pi_foundation/raspberry_pi
I did:
insert your SD card and run:
→ flash the newly created OpenWrt image to a SD card:
sudo fdisk -l

← flash the newly created OpenWrt image to a SD card:
Adjust Repositories
===================
according to: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg
The only configuration file is /etc/opkg.conf. It could look like this:
src/gz snapshots http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages
