No interfaces detected apart from loopback in OpenWRT

Question

Installed OpenWRT in laptop Dell Latitude E5550,

Booted up using live Ubuntu DVD and issued following commands.

$ wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/x86/generic/openwrt-15.05-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img.gz
$ gunzip openwrt-15.05-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img.gz
$ dd if=openwrt-15.05-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img of=/dev/sda

Rebooted the system, when I check the interfaces using

$ifconfig 

Apart from my loopback adapter, the installed OpenWRT OS is unable to detect the rest of my interfaces which are

eth0 & wlan0
