Great!

Also, to verify the "these devices are supported", I compared the list
of module aliases exported by both drivers.  The r8188eu is a tiny
subset of the rtl8xxxu driver, with no devices listed in the r8188eu
that are not in the rtl8xxxu driver.

Attached are the lists of the vendor/product USB ids for each driver as
proof.
