I've installed OpenWrt 15.05 to my Pi, configured DHCP for the only LAN port and connected with my router, now it has internet access.

I've pluged my Apple USB ethernet adapter to the Pi, but it doesn't recognize the new ethernet adapter, I can't find it in the `$ ifconfig` result:

However I can find the Apple USB Adapter in `$ lsusb`:

root@OpenWrt:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 05ac:1402 Apple, Inc. Ethernet Adapter [A1277]
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I want to use this USB ethernet adapter as a LAN port to connect with my PC, do I need install some special drive for this adapter? I did install kmod-usb-net-asix and kmod-usb-net package, but still can't recognize it.

Try installing and loading the kmod-usb-net-asix-ax88179 module.

I just tried, still unable to recognize the USB ethernet adapter.

---Update---

My bad, I can see it in the interfaces page, I should use `$ ifconfig -a` command.
