[elrepo] Request to add RTL8187 driver to CentOS 7 repo

[Jivan Pal]

Thanks, I have just spent the past couple of hours trying to do that with
the source found at <https://github.com/Dekadencee/rtl8187-Linux-Driver>
prior to seeing your response, with no success so far; the Makefiles need
adjusting to work under the XCP-ng build environment. I have just submitted
a request on the development forums <https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/5993>,
so we'll see what comes of that. I didn't think to use the ELRepo source,
so I may give that a shot if/when I have some more time. I'll probably just
get a newer dongle anyway; this thing only supports 802.11a/b/g.
