Do you mean these drivers -> kmod-usb-net kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether 
kmod-usb-net-rndis?


I think it makes more sense to enable the wifi on the raspi zero and
zero W by default.

Pi Zero has no radio! WIFI can be configured in meny different whays!
What about to open SSH port for WAN interface?


Raspi 3 have an ethernet port and it works, I think there is no need to
add usb0 interface. Many devices have only ethernet ports in OpenWrt.

You are right here! When I SSH through LAN how to get connected to the internet?


Also, since you are active on these devices, it seems that the wifi on
the Pi 3 B+ only needs firmware files extracted from Raspbian to work,
maybe you can add that too?

Those are for Android smartphone tethering, and for the cheaper 
usb-to-gigabit-ethernet adapters, they are not all drivers for 
USB-to-ethernet dongles, and won't work with Iphone tethering.

zero W by default.

Default wifi configuration generates an open (no password) wifi network. 
By default wifi is also disabled because an open wifi network is unsafe.


I guess for the raspi zero and zero W it's better to have tethering 
instead of enabling wifi then.



Raspi 3 have an ethernet port and it works, I think there is no need to
add usb0 interface. Many devices have only ethernet ports in OpenWrt.

Follow the instructions on the wiki. You should not hard-code your own 
configuration in the openwrt default configuration if there is a way to 
connect to the device to configure it. Ethernet is enough to configure a 
device.


This is for connecting an OpenWrt device to an existing ethernet network 
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/lede_as_clientdevice


This is for setting up USB tethering 
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/smartphone.usb.tethering


Apparently we miss a tutorial to use the wifi to connect to another 
network, and I'll have to make that. Follow the initial steps of this 
tutorial 
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/relay_configuration as 
it does show how to connect to another wifi network, ignore the parts 
about setting up a "relay bridge" as that's not required if you just 
want to connect to the Internet.



Also, since you are active on these devices, it seems that the wifi on
the Pi 3 B+ only needs firmware files extracted from Raspbian to work,
maybe you can add that too?

I'm not a core developer, I cannot approve or merge anything. I'm just 
pointing out things I think are not going to look good for core developers.

Why?

Pi Zero and Zero W have no LAN port!
For W radio is disabled by default!
Pi 3 b+ has no working WIFI!

So it is handy to have tethering by defult and nightmer without!




usb0 interface is used by USB-to-ethernet adapters or smartphone 
tethering, and they need drivers to work. Just adding the interface does 
not have any effect.
