Hey,

I'm trying for 1st time OpenWrt, and using a RPi v1 for this test.
So It's ok with flashing the SD card, openwrt is booting ok, web-interface is here.

There's an USB LAN card plugged, to have the internal ethernet for LAN, and the USB for WAN...
But as you will guess, USB LAN is not shown in the web-interface.
Command ifconfig is not showing this ethernet card... sad

In my debian computer, when this USB LAN is plugged, I got :
"lsusb" command result :
0fe6:9700 Kontron (Industrial Computer Source / ICS Advent) DM9601 Fast Ethernet Adapter

It's a cheap hardware 10/100... It's working nice on my Debian 8 without any additional config/driver.

But is it possible to have this USB LAN card working on OpenWrt RPi edition ?

Sooo many thx for your help smile

you have to install its relevant drivers.
in your case kmod-usb-net-dm9601-ether

Thx! This driver is ok for waking up eth1 smile

But sadly, auto-negociate 10M with the gigabyte switch if I follow the leds...

Tried to surf thought the new set up, but the RPi is always rebooting when the network is used... I'm 90% sure it's not a power supply problem... I'll try with another linux distribution to be sure.
Sadly, OpenWrt looks like very useful and cool to use :'(
May be I'll be back after some tests...
Thx for your help smile
