I am having trouble using the realtek wifi chip in my new tp-link
usb wifi dongle. Upon plugging it, the device gets registered by the
kernel (in /var/log/messages), but that's about it, no network device
is being created (iwconfig does not see it, nothing else works).
A few google searches later I found out that this realtek chip is not
supported by the kernel and requires a driver, and that the driver is
packaged for C7 as kmod-8188eu in elrepo.
However, yum install kmod-8188eu refuses to install it (full yum
output is here: https://pastebin.com/raw/vvak6FCU ), complaining that
the following dependencies cannot be met:

I've never seen such output from yum before --- I'm guessing it is
asking for a kernel with specific "properties", and failing to find
one.
What is the best way to resolve this? Is there some kernel package
somewhere that matches these properties, or is there some other
package
that provides these features to an existing kernel, or something else?
That output indicates that that kmod package is built for the EL 7.5
kernel and is not compatible with the current kernel. I suggest you
file a request to have the kmod-8188eu rebuilt for EL 7.6 at
http://elrepo.org/bugs/ .

Another alternative may be to pull down the SRPM and run it through
rpmbuild to locally create a binary package compatible with the system
as it's currently installed/running.
