Comment (by ppvazquezfer@…):
The only available driver has to be selected in the kernel drivers -->
staging drivers --> RealTek RTL8712U, after selecting USB support -->
[M]Support for Host-side USB.
In addition you need a firmware that must be placed in
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/r8712u.bin if i am right:

The RTL8712U driver uses WEXT instead cfg80211/mac80211 so will not work
fine with openwrt, but should work.
