lsusb shows: Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0bda:c832 Realtek 802.11ax WLAN Adapter
What's interesting, running my own build Generic Device would show up in wireless.
After copying over WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1.bin and WIFI_MT7961_patch_mcu_1_2_hdr.bin, I then removed the /etc/config/wireless followed by wifi config and a reboot. Now, it doesn't even show Generic Device
Any tips to get this adapter working in openwrt?

Those firmware files are for cards or adapters using the mt7921au, mt7921k and mt7921 chipsets. Your chipset is a Realtek chipset. Without looking, it is probably a rtl8832bu?

Not really. There isn't much support for adapters that use Realtek out-of-kernel drivers in OpenWRT. The reason is that it is hard to do.
The solution I use for OpenWRT is adapters with the following chipsets as OpenWRT already has support:
mt7610u
mt7612u
mt7921au
You can install the drivers with Luci in the Software section. I can show you how if you get an adapter. There is a list adapters in the Plug and Play List on the Main Menu.
