Well, I thought it would go easier…
After research showed to stay away from other chipsets, I’ve yet to see anyone get this working on a raspberry pi running OpenWrt. I read about the kernel needing to be updated, I might have to compile my own install of OpenWrt.

2022.09.17 UPDATE: Turns out you have to build your own openwrt for this to work. mt7921u is the driver that loaded after I compiled all MediaTek drivers and firmware. Once loaded it appears to have worked, just after almost 4 hours on an i7… I missed a few pieces… so far this is my list of needs to include in the build. this is all so that the COMFAST CF-953AX works on the Raspberry Pi with OpenWRT
- kmod-usb-core
- nano
- luci
- kmod-usb-storage
- kmod-usb-uhci
- kmod-usb-ohci
- kmod-usb2
- kmod-usb3
- kmod-usb-storage-uas
- kmod-usb-ohci-pci
- kmod-usb2-pci
- usbutils
- kmod-ath9k-htc
- ath9k-htc-firmware
Below is what I installed when making the build.
kmod-mt76-core kmod-mt76-usb kmod-mt76x02-common kmod-mt76x2 kmod-mt76x2-common kmod-usb-net kmod-usb3 kmod-usb2 kmod-mt76x2u mt7601u-firmware kmod-mt7601u mt7622bt-firmware kmod-mt76x0-common kmod-mt76 kmod-mt76-connac kmod-mt76-core kmod-mt76-sdio mt76-test kmod-mt7663-firmware-ap kmod-mt7663-firmware-sta kmod-mt7663-usb-sdio
