No; OpenWrt is not ‘plug and play’. You’ll have to confirm it’s loading the correct modules into the Linux kernel (‘kmod’). The Windows equivalent of this is ensuring drivers are loaded & running.

ssh into your device & run:

  • lsusb
  • dmesg
  • logread -e "usb"

That’ll help get you the necessary info required when you request assistance on the OpenWrt Forums. There’s a few steps involved in setup & I don’t have a USB adapter to work along with.

See below for a SSH HOW-TO.
