Just for the record --- the kmod has been rebuilt against the new
kernel (thanks for the very fast response!!), and the new version does
install successfully.
Of course, then I ran into a separate issue with 8188eu driver
requiring the old wext driver, while NetworkManager working only with
the new nl80211 driver... After some googling, it seems that this issue
is best discussed here:
https://www.thelinuxrain.com/articles/getting-realtek-8188eu-wireless-adapters-to-work-in-linux-and-possibly-other-wireless-realtek-chipsets
Using wicd instead of NetworkManager somehow failed me, but the manual
startup of wpa_supplicant did work, and the wifi dongle finally came to
life, and works perfectly.
Thanks again to Akemi, and elrepo!
Best, :-)
Marko
